A letter from the Chair of LMT Bird Town Pennsylvania
Lower Makefield Township's Bird of the Month for September 2025 - The Ruby Throated Hummingbird
- The Ruby-throated Hummingbird beats its wings about 53 times a second.
- The extremely short legs of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird prevent it from walking
or hopping. The best it can do is shuffle along a perch. - Ruby-throated Hummingbirds prefer to feed on red or orange and purple flowers
(though it's not necessary to color the sugar water you put in a hummingbird feeder).
Like many birds, hummingbirds have good color vision and can see into the
ultraviolet spectrum. - Ruby-throated Hummingbirds normally place their nest on a branch of a deciduous or
coniferous tree. - Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are eastern North America’s only breeding
hummingbird. But in terms of area, this species occupies the largest breeding range of
any North American hummingbird. - The oldest known Ruby-throated Hummingbird was a female, and at least 9 years, 2
months.
