AERIAL ACROBAT - Female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird executes an aerial maneuver around the feeder. Hummingbirds are the only bird species capable of flying backwards. This unique ability is due to their specialized wing structure and the way they flap their wings in a figure-eight pattern. This allows them to hover, fly forward, backward and even upside down.
