Wikipedia says, the ruby-throated hummingbird is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida and migrates to Eastern North America for the summer to breed.
I've also heard that these tiny birds often fly non-stop across the Gulf of Mexico to get back to their winter homes.
Scientific name: Archilochus colubris, Average life span: 5-9 years, Size: 3 - 4 inches, Weight: .07 - .21 oz
