I composed and recorded this piece after seeing a hummingbird drinking at my feeder yesterday. The hummingbird flapped its wings so fast that I couldn’t really see the wings. Later, I learned that hummingbirds flapped their wings from about 10 to more than 80 times per second while hovering. They flap their wings even faster during the courtship display dives used by the males of some species. Moreover, hummingbirds can fly very fast, routinely attaining speeds of 20 to 30 miles per hour. They triple that speed during those amazing courtship display dives. What an incredible creature it is! Bird watching always brings joy to me. Hope this piece brings you joy too!
