Hummingbird licking branch
"Padraig" wrote in message
...
I don't know how much nutritional value she's getting by licking this tree
branch but due to its metabolism a hummer has to eat a third of its body
weight daily. Anna's hummers subsist on nectar but they eat a lot of bugs &
spiders too for protein.
