Bonus Fun Fact: We only have one breeding resident hummingbird in Iowa, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. You might see other hummers migrating through, but we only have one that spends its summer in Iowa making babies.

Bonus Bonus Fun Fact: Ruby-throated Hummingbird nests are about the size of a large thimble and are built from materials such as thistle and dandelion down, lichen, and spider silk. It sounds like something straight from a fantasy movie about faeries!
