Hummingbirds

No other animal in God’s creation elicits as much awe and wonder as the hummingbird – small, incredibly colorful, and fearless. Their heartbeat and wingbeat is the fastest in the animal kingdom. Their vision into the ultraviolet range and biomechanics of their tongue to feed amazes zoologists. The navigation and migration of the hummingbird, sound production, and ability to survive cold temperatures is unlike any other bird. God’s incredible hummingbird.”
