According to the Hummingbird Society (see link below) "Hummingbirds are the world's second largest family of birds with an estimated 328 species. Despite the fact that they are found only in the New World (North, South, and Central America; and islands of the Caribbean), they are a familiar subject around the globe. Yet few in the world are aware that twenty-eight (28) species, or nearly ten per cent, are threatened with extinction, according to an analysis by BirdLife International."

This includes some of the most amazing and beautiful little birds in the world -- the Sapphire-bellied Hummingbird, the Honduran Emerald and the Juan Fernández Firecrown.

Hummingbirds play an important role in pollinating a wide range of flowers in an ecosystem.  In some cases flower plants that contribute significantly to the sustainability of that ecosystem.
