Artist: Rick Walters

Broad-tailed hummingbird flying in the Medicine Bow Forest near Centennial Wyoming

The broad-tailed hummingbird breeds and summers in the Western U.S. mountains and winters in Mexico and Guatemala. Its diet is flower nectar and small insects

When ambient temperatures drop below 44°F it goes into torpor, lowering its body temperature to 54°F

The hummingbirds lifespan is up to 12 year

The broad-tailed hummingbirds wings can beat up to 80 times a second

10" long x 8" wide

Printed on classic photo paper using archival pigment ink

The artist used a shutter speed of 1/4000 second to eliminate motion blur in the wings

In plastic sleeve and on foam board for protection
