Hummingbirds may be the smallest birds in the animal world, but their feathers make big impressions. From vibrant colors to mating calls, the feathers that adorn these minute winged creatures not only look beautiful to admiring human observers, they also serve important purposes in these delicate birds' daily lives.
During the peak of summer I was filling 15 feeders, using over a gallon of hummingbird food a day. At times I would have over 100 hummingbirds trying to eat. The beautiful little birds inspired me to paint.
