Yes, hummingbirds are pollinators.
These small, colorful birds are known for their ability to hover in the air as they feed on nectar from flowers. As they drink the sweet nectar, their heads and bills come into contact with the flower's reproductive organs, including the stamen and stigma. In doing so, they transfer pollen from one flower to another, allowing for cross-pollination and the production of seeds and fruit.
