Note: These Challenge Questions coincide with the Spring 2005 Reports Challenge Question #4 From: Jeremiah Monkman <06MonkmJ@hornets.husd4.org> Date: Wed Mar 30 2005 - 13:46:25 EST The ruby throat hummingbirds get food from woodpeckers. Let me explain. Woodpeckers make tiny holes in the trees to draw out sap. The woodpeckers stay around or migrate earlier than the hummingbirds. When the woodpeckers leave there is still sap slowly coming out of the holes. The hummingbirds the come through and use the sap as food and a source of nutrients until the flowers start to bloom and grow. Received on Wed Mar 30 13:46:30 2005 Copyright 2005 Journey North.
