They're small but mighty. Weighing less than a nickel, these pint-sized marvels cross the Gulf of Mexico in a single non-stop flight during migration. Not only that, they can sustain their wings at an unbelievable rate of 50 beats per second. And you'll have to be speedy, too, if you want to adopt a Ruby-throated Hummingbird: These miniature beauties are going fast!

When you adopt a bird through Audubon's Gift Center, you'll become an integral part of our top-flight work for birds and the natural world we all share. And as a thank you, we'll send a captivating plush right to your mailbox. Celebrate Hummingbird Day today with a Ruby-throated Hummingbird adoption, and you'll protect birds and their habitats for generations to come.

What Do Intense Hurricanes Mean for Birds and People?
Hurricane season is upon us as Hurricane Idalia made landfall in Florida earlier this week. Hurricanes are historically the deadliest and costliest natural disasters, and this season the stakes are high for birds and people.

While hurricanes may happen less frequently overall because of climate change, the most intense storms are expected to become more common. Unusually warm water temperatures, coupled with rising sea levels, can quickly strengthen hurricanes before landfall. This could have devastating consequences for vulnerable communities and bird species.

Without immediate action, climate change is projected to increase the intensity and variability of heavy precipitation events that both birds and people will need to weather. Keep reading for more about the impacts of climate change on severe weather events like hurricanes.
