Fiery Throated Hummingbird and Flower

This fiery-throated hummingbird looks like it’s considering a plan of attack. It doesn’t need to worry: with its long, straw-like beak, it’s uniquely adapted to drink out of long, tube-like flowers.

Buds with this shape tend to have the highest sugar content, which fiery-throated hummingbirds love.
