#### Hey there!

#### This is part #7 of my bird photo series.

#### I took these photos during our trip around the world in 2014.

#### I have lots of bird photos, so I'm gonna split them up into several posts!

#### I can't remember exactly where all the photos were taken, and I'm not sure if I named all the birds correctly. 

#### Please, feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes!

#### Do we have any eager birdwatchers here?

#### Which bird in these photos is your favorite?

#### My own favorite is the Hummingbird in the first photo. It's incredible how their feathers changes colors with every turn.

#### Did you know? 
#### - Some hummingbirds hearts can beat as fast as 1,260 beats per minute. 
#### - A resting hummingbird takes about 250 breaths per minute.
#### - Hummingbirds can fly forward, backward, and even upside down.
#### - Some species can dive at speeds in excess of 22 m/s (79 km/h; 49 mph).
#### - The Giant Hummingbird beats its wings 10-15 times per second. The fastest recorded rate is about 80 beats per second on an Amethyst Woodstar Hummingbird.
#### - Hummingbirds are actually the only birds that can sustain hovering.
