Note: These Challenge Questions coincide with the Spring 2005 Reports Challeng Question #2 From: by way of Jane Duden Journey North <susamel@brounstein.com> Date: Mon Mar 07 2005 - 09:15:24 EST The male hummingbird is molting because all summer he uses his neck to take the nectar from the flower. The bird tips his neck so the pollen is caught on his feathers. One benefit for molting is for clean feathers. The second benefit is atracting females.
