All hummingbirds are metabolic marvels, but Rufous Hummingbirds take it to an extreme. The species has the longest migration of any hummingbird in the world. Relative to its body length, this bird- equal in weight to just a nickel– migrates farther than any bird species.

Partners in Flight is a dynamic and welcoming network of more than 150 partner organizations throughout the Western Hemisphere engaged in all aspects of landbird conservation. We encourage partners to make use of our Plans, databases, Watch List species, and other resources.
