No Guessing Games: Know When Hummingbirds Are Near

Every spring, many Ruby-throated Hummingbirds migrate directly across the Gulf of Mexico in a single non-stop flight. Upon arrival, these tiny birds need shelter, and, most importantly, food! You can help these hardworking hummers get the nutrients they need by providing their favorite post-workout meal—nectar ([link removed]).

But when is the best time to put out your feeder? Thankfully, the new Bird Migration Explorer ([link removed]) (also available in Spanish ([link removed]) takes the guesswork out of migration season. The Bird Migration Explorer’s state-of-the-art maps reveal the full journeys of hundreds of species of beloved migratory birds like Ruby-throated Hummingbirds throughout their entire yearly migration cycle.

A combination of the best available migration data and community science contributions allows us to make highly accurate maps showing the routes and abundance of hundreds of bird species. Starting from the Ruby-throated Hummingbird Migration Map ([link removed]), simply zoom in and follow along the weekly timebar below to see precisely when the hummers will be passing through your area. The larger the circles, the more hummingbirds are likely to stop by for a sip.

Can’t find Ruby-throated Hummingbirds where you live? No worries, we have hummers for you too!

* If you live in the western U.S., check out the Calliope Hummingbird ([link removed]), the smallest bird in North America.
* For those in the central U.S., take a peek at the Black-chinned Hummingbird’s migration map ([link removed]) to see when they’re coming to town.
