Most hummingbirds flap their wings about 50 or so times a second (3,000 per minute). This means all we can see is a blur. A Hummingbird flaps it's wings 50 to 200 times per second.
The wings on a rubythroated hummingbird beat at approximately 50-60 beats per second. With a wingspan that varies between birds from 3-4 inches or so, that means that the wingtips travel from front to back about 6-8 inches, more or less. This means that the wings travel between 300 and 500 inches per second.
