Hummingbird Abstract

Wings Built for Speed

Hummingbirds have the fastest wingbeats of any bird, ranging from roughly 12 to 80 beats per second depending on the species, with Ruby-throated Hummingbirds averaging about 53 beats per second and Rufous Hummingbirds reaching around 62. (Source: Hummingbird101)
