5/18/12 – The last few days have brought clear skies, warm weather, and beautiful but busy ruby-throated hummingbirds to the northwoods. Yesterday two unsuspecting hummingbirds accidentally flew into the store and could not make an escape. Luckily a few of the fine crew members here at Sawbill Canoe Outfitters sprang into action and helped the little fellas out.

Hummingbirds use so much energy during the day that if they maintained a constant body temperature they would starve. Luckily for them they are able to lower their core temperature up to 30 degrees at night in order to conserve energy. – Jessica
