Time-Saving Tips for Outlook

His shiny head blinks in bright magenta, stretched towards the sun. Now, the male Anna's hummingbird starts his dive.
Faster and faster, he descends. The shiny head has turned into a daring fireball. The female birds look impressed: in relation to body length, Calypte anna is the fastest flying creature.
