Mr. May

I didn’t think Hummingbirds fed on pollen but there were a few different birds on this willow in Waterton Lakes Park feeding from the catkins - could be they were looking for bugs but they certainly had a lot of pollen on their beaks.

Magenta rays burst from the throats of the male Calliope Hummingbird as it dances and hovers, performing U-shaped display dives for females. During these displays he makes a sputtering buzz with tail feathers and gives a sharp zinging call. This is the smallest bird in the United States, yet this tiny hummingbird breeds in meadows and open forests high in chilly Northwestern mountains, and travels more than 5,000 miles each year to pine-oak forests in Mexico and back again ~ All About Birds
