The visitors are on their way from Canada and points north to Mexico where they will overwinter. The creatures will be gone from Indiana by November 10 but can begin returning as early as April 8, although May 1 is a more normal date. Russell Mumford, Purdue University wildlife scientist, states their trip eventually will take them across the Gulf of Mexico to Yucatan. The trip across the Gulf was at one time called “impossible” by experts says Mumford, because for the 600 miles or so across the Gulf, the bird has no food source. The bird has such a high metabolism rate it must eat almost continuously during the daylight hours. (During evenings and cool weather, hummingbirds become torpid and their metabolism goes down, notes Mumford). The bird gets its energy by sucking the nectar from flowers, usually red, orange and yellow blossoms. Its favorite food is jewel weed which is at its blooming peak in Indiana during early September. It also likes columbine, trumpet creeper and impatiens. Wildlife experts estimate the bird can fly for 26 hours nonstop at 48 to 54 miles per h6ur, which allows it to cross the Gulf with relative ease. This estimate is based on the bird’s weight of 4.5 grams of which 2 grams is fat says Mumford. He adds that 30 percent of the bird’s weight is in breast muscles. The bird may be capable of faster sprint speeds Mumford states, emphasizing that the stated speeds are just an estimate. Even though the bird’s tiny size makes it seem to fly faster than it actually does, it is one of the faster birds. Exercise is a Fountain of Youth It’s the new fountain of youth for senior adults. It’s nothing more than exercise. Studies indicate that exercise, even moderately, along with proper diet, can retard some of the functional declines accompanying aging. Exercise prevents loss of muscle mass, flexibility, endurance and bone strength along with improving the efficiency of the heart, lungs, normalizes blood pressure, blood sugar and blood cholesterol levels. However, the Indiana State Medical Association urges those planning on exercising to check with their doctor before beginning any type of fitness program. Walking is one of the best exercises for seniors.
