Hummingbirds are renowned for their incredible agility and their ability to hover mid-air, a feat made possible by their unique wing structure and rapid wingbeats. 1  These tiny birds can beat their wings up to 80 times per second, allowing them to remain stationary as they feed on nectar from flowers or catch insects in flight. 2  Their long, slender beaks are perfectly adapted for reaching deep into blossoms, and their tongues can extend even further to lap up the sweet liquid. 3  This remarkable ability to hover and feed in mid-air is a testament to their extraordinary adaptations and their vital role as pollinators in ecosystems around the world.   
This note card, with its rustic woodblock depiction of a hummingbird in flight, is a celebration of these fascinating creatures and their mesmerizing dance with nature. Each card is a miniature work of art, capturing the essence of the hummingbird's grace and energy.
