Description
First, to answer a question posed in my last render,... yes, there are a lot of different species of Hummingbirds, 365 species to be exact. My hummingbird project will only cover 28 of them divided into 2 volumes; North and South America.
This bird, the Bahama Woodstar, is endemic, as you would expect, to the Bahamas. While most hummingbirds are aggressive to any bird with the exception of their mates, the Bahama Woodstars may gather where flowers are abundant-- but they are not truly sociable birds and will chase an intruding neighbor away. This aggressiveness is shown to other species of bird at times.
