I
managed to get a few pictures of a hummingbird in action
This hummingbird I saw in eastern Cuba in the nature
Parque Nacional La Mensura
The hummingbird can linger silently through the very rapid wing beat in the air (15 to 80 beats per second, depending on the size of the bird)
Due to the rapid wing beat the hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backwards, and they can even fly straight up and straight down
The hummingbird flies to the flower of a mango tree
Here he sucks the nectar from the flower
If you look closely you can see him in the flower
(on the right side of the picture)
Here you see him rest on the upper branch
