Notes: The ruby-throated hummingbird is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Canada and other parts of Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America. 
During migration, some birds embark on a nonstop 900-mile journey across the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean from Panama or Mexico to the eastern United States.

Humming birds are amazing. After winter, with the beginning of summer they travel back miles and miles crossing oceans. The solo odyssey of the hummingbird astonishes us. Great haiku, Mala. Win big !
