Description
Hummingbirds are small (weighing 2 to 20 grams), with long, narrow bills and small, saber-like wings.
Males (and occasionally females) often have a colorful gorget—small, stiff, highly reflective, colored feathers on the throat and upper chest. These shiny feathers and others around the head may look sooty black until a hummingbird turns its head to catch the sun and display the intense, metallic spectral color.
