Use this hummingbird migration map to follow the progress of the
Ruby-throated hummingbird.
Once in the US, the Ruby-throated hummingbird migration will continue
at a rate of about 20 miles per day following the early blooms
of the flowers that the Ruby-throats prefer as a food source. The
northern migration is usually completed by the end of May. Banding
studies have shown that each bird will return to the area where it
hatched, even returning to the same nesting sites nesting
sites year after year.
Be sure to set your hummingbird feeders hummingbird
feeders out a week or two before the estimated arrival date.
That way when the hummers arrive they will find you first and hopefully
hang around all summer.
