ALLEN'S HUMMING BIRD.
E Humming birds with their varied beauties constitute the most remarkable
feature of the bird-life of America. They have absolutely no representatives
in any other part of the world, the Swifts being the nearest relatives they
have in other countries.
They abound most in mountainous countries, where the surface and productions
of the soil are most diversified within small areas. They frequent both open and
rare and inaccessible places, and are often found on the snowy peaks of Chimborazo
as high as 16,000 feet, and in the very lowest valleys in the primeval forests of Brazil, the vast palm-covered districts of the deltas of the Amazon and Orinocco, the
fertile flats and Savannahs of Demarra, the luxurious and beautiful region Xalapa,
(the realm of perpetual sunshine), and other parts of Mexico.
Hr.mming birds are found as small as a bumble bee and as large as a sparrow.
The smallest is from Jamaica, the largest from Patagonia. Allen's Hummer is
found on the Pacific coast, north to British Columbia, east to Southern Arizona.
There are many birds the flight of which is so rapid that their wings cannot
be counted, but here is a species with such nerve of wing that its wing strokes cannot be seen — a hazy semi-circle of indistinctness on each side of the bird is all that
is perceptible. Poised in the air, his body nearly perpendicular, he seems to hang
in front of the flowers which he probes so hurriedly, one after the other, with his
long, slender bill ! That long, tubular, fork-shaped tongue may be sucking up the
nectar from those rather small cylindrical blossoms, or it may be capturing tiny
insects housed away there. Much more like a large sphynx moth hovering and
humming over the flowers in dusky twilight, than like a bird appears this delicate,
fairy-like beauty. How the bright green of the body gleams and glistens in the
sunlight.
Each imperceptable stroke of those tiny wings conforms to the laws of
flight with an ease and gracefulness that seems spiritual. Who can fail to note that
fine adjustment of the organs of flight to aerial elasticity and gravitation, by which
that astonishing bit of nervous energy can rise and fall almost on the perpendicular,
dart from side to side, as if by magic, or, assuming the horizontal position, pass out
of sight like a shooting star.
" What heavenly tints in mingling radiance fly,
Each rapid movement gives a different dye ;
Like scales of burnished gold they dazzling show,
Now sinks to shade, now like a furnace glow."
