item.
Hummingbirds need large amounts of energy to flap their wings between 60 and 200
times per second. Their wings beat so rapidly that it is difficult to see them move. They often
appear suspended in air for extended periods of time without changing their location. Hummingbirds
have long bills and grooved tongues to reach into flowers to feed on flower nectar. They also feed on
insects.

Black skimmers are water birds that live along coastal beaches, bays,
estuaries, and marshes. They fly just above the surface of the water using their lower jaw to catch
small fish, shrimp, and other small crustaceans.
These birds
nest in simple, unlined depressions in the sand. Scientists have observed a decline in the number of
nests. Some causes of this decline include a lack of suitable nesting sites, beach erosion, and human
disturbances. When people approach their nests, the birds become aggressive and chase away
intruders. Other animals, like crows, will take advantage of the unprotected nests and feed on the
eggs.
