A solar-powered airplane finished crossing the United States on Saturday, landing in New York City after flying over the Statue of Liberty during its historic bid to circle the globe, the project team said. The spindly, single-seat experimental aircraft, dubbed Solar Impulse 2, arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport at about 4 a.m. local time after it took off about five hours beforehand at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania, the team reported on the airplane's website. Such a pleasure to land in New York! For the 14th time we celebrate sustainability," said the project's co-founder Andre Borschberg on Twitter after flying over the city and the Statue of Liberty during the 14th leg of the trip around the globe. The Swiss team flying the aircraft in a campaign to build support for clean energy technologies hopes eventually to complete its circumnavigation in Abu Dhabi, where the journey began in March 2015.

The bee hummingbird or zunzuncito (Mellisuga helenae) is a species of hummingbird that is endemic to dense forests and woodland edges on the main island of Cuba. With a mass of approximately 1.6–2 g (0.056–0.071 oz) and a length of 5–6 cm (2.0–2.4 in), it is the smallest living bird.The male has the green pileum and searing red throat, brilliant gorget with stretched horizontal tufts, pale blue upper-parts, and whatever is left of the underparts for the most part grayish white. The male is littler than the female. The female is green above, whitish beneath with white tips to the external tail quills. Contrasted with other little hummingbirds, which regularly have a slim appearance, the Bee Hummingbird looks adjusted and thick.
Female honey bee hummingbirds are pale blue green with a pale ash underside. The tips of their tailfeathers have white spots. Rearing guys have a rosy to pink head, button, and throat. The female lays just two eggs at once.
As the littlest fledgling on the planet, it is no bigger than a huge
The splendid, glowing shades of the honey bee hummingbird's plumes make the flying creature appear like a modest gem. The glow is not generally observable, however relies on upon the plot at which an individual takes a gander at the fowl. The fledgling's slim, pointed bill is adjusted for testing profound into blossoms. The honey bee hummingbird nourishes for the most part on nectar, and an intermittent creepy crawly or insect, by moving its tongue quickly lock stock and done with its mouth. Currently nourishing, the fledgling grabs dust on its bill and head. When it flies from blossom to bloom, it exchanges the dust. Along these lines, it assumes a critical part in plant multiplication. In the space of one day the honey bee hummingbird may visit 1,500 flowers.[4]
Utilizing bits of webs, bark, and lichen, the female bumblebee hummingbird fabricates a container formed home that is just around 2.5 cm (1 inch) in breadth. Homes have been based on single clothespins. She lines the home with delicate plant strands. In this home she lays her eggs, which are no greater than peas. Only she broods the eggs and raises the youthfu
