The red-throated hummingbird Lamprolaima rhami is a migratory bird of the Americas that spends most of its winter in Florida, Mexico, and Central America. During its migration, it can travel more than 1,400 kilometers across the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. During the spring migration, some hummingbirds can even fly 800 kilometers from Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula for at least 20 hours without rest, a journey that helps them reach Florida and Louisiana in the United States.
Like all hummingbirds, red-throated hummingbirds have small feet that are not suitable for perching or jumping from branch to branch. For this reason, red-throated hummingbirds use flight as their primary mode of movement. They are excellent trapezes, capable of hovering at a rate of up to 53 wingbeats per second. They can fly straight, up, down, backward or hover in place.
