"The bee hummingbird is a species of hummingbird, native to the island of Cuba in the Caribbean. It is the smallest known bird. It measures a mere two and a quarter inches long. Bee Hummingbirds are often mistaken for bees. They weigh less than two grams — less than a dime. That’s half the weight of our backyard hummers, like the Ruby-throated or Rufous. The female builds a nest barely an inch across. Her eggs are about the size of a coffee bean." ~National Audubon Society
Oh, how I envy its freedom,
To roam the skies so wide,
To taste the sweetness of life,
With every graceful glide.
