America Alone Has Humming Birds.
Though the art museums of Europe
may bare some treasures of which
America cannot boast, our continent
has the distinction of a monopoly of
the world's supply of humming birds,
the gems of aU the feathered creation.
Of these there are said to be some 400
species the Four Uuudred w may
well call them nearly all of which
are peculiar to the tropical regions.
Only eighteen cross tb borders of the
United States from Mexico and occur
only in our southwestern states. The
popular idea Is that the hummer Uvea
only on honey gathered from flowers.
This la a mistake. The bird does se
cure some honey, but Its food consists
mainly of the small insects which fre
quent the flowers. Some of these in
sects are Injurious to the blossom, and
the tiny bird fulfills a useful function
In destroying them. That the hummer
la insectivorous Is also shown by Its
habit of catching tiny Insects on the
wing, which la occasionally observed.
