Hummingbirds at the Tanama Ranch in the Dominican Republic.
Here some great information about Hummingbirds. I visited the Tanama Jungle Ranch in the Dominican Republic:



"... Someone who has never seen hummingbirds before, can be overwhelmed by the dazzling display and the speed of movement of these tiny birds. Hummingbirds are among the smallest of birds, and also the quickest - flapping their wings 12-80 times in just a second. A hummingbird's heart beats up to 1,260 times per minute to power their wings. They can even hover in mid-air, fly sideways and even upside-down. In order to do this they don't flap their wings like a normal bird, but they rotate their wings in a full circle. It is great taking pictures of these hummers, they are so colorful, but they are a real challenge to capture in a photo...."
