Pollinator Series: Hummingbirds
'Small but mighty' is a description that aptly applies to hummingbirds. The average hummingbird weights only 2.8 grams (a penny weighs 2.5 grams). However, without these tiny pollinators many plant fruits and countless flower varieties would die. Along with bees and butterflies, hummingbirds are pollinator superstars. RPG's rich ecosystem provides habitat for these incredibly beautiful and amazing birds.
