A Rufous female darts in to a feeder at dusk. They will usually hover a few inches from the feeder to scan for danger before dipping their tiny beaks into the sugar water. Hummingbirds are perpetually on the verge of starvation and need to eat or drink every few waking minutes to survive. At night their metabolism slows dramatically in “torpor” to conserve energy.
