Hummingbird

At only 3 1/2 inches long with a weight of approximately 1/4 ounce, it would be easy to dismiss this tiny bird as fragile, yet the ruby-throated hummingbird hits far above its weight in strength and stamina. As the only hummingbird to breed east of the Mississippi river, these powerhouses fly nonstop for 800 miles across the Gulf of Mexico each year on their annual migration from Central America to Canada. The adult males of this species have distinctive orange-red throats and bright green feathers, making them easy to spot up and down the eastern United States. This card is a great choice for all the bird lovers on your list, as well as anyone who would appreciate a truly distinctive greeting card.
