April is the busiest month for the Spring Migration!

 

More and more of us will see our hummers return to our gardens and feeders.

 

We continue to receive sightings in the South and up the east coast and the submissions seem to be coming in at a faster rate now.

 

Our visitors have been spotting them up the West Coast and up into New Jersey in the east!

 

The migration moves up the coasts first before heading inland because of the warmer temperatures.

 

So far, the migration sightings seem to be showing their usual progress for our beloved hummingbirds.

 

The migration for the Ruby-throated hummingbird usually starts in February and ends in late May in their northern most habitat of Canada.

 

In the Spring, the Ruby-throated hummingbird will leave Mexico and Central America, where they are concentrated and there is stiff competition for food.

 

Males will usually migrate first followed by the females about 10 to 14 days later.

 

Most of the Western Hummingbird Species including the Allen's,  Black-chinned, Broad-tailed, Calliope, Costa's and Rufous Hummingbirds also migrate in the Spring from their Winter grounds.

 

However, one western species, the Anna's Hummingbirds, will stay year-round along the western states and don't migrate in the Spring or Fall.

Hummingbird Stories From Our Visitor Friends

Here's A Hummingbird Story From

Amanda in Florida:

 

 

 

It was a somewhat cold, breezy and a sunny day that November 1st 2009, here in Miami, Florida. 

It had been 12 years since my Mom moved into this house with a garden. 

On that day it was her sister's Birthday and my Mom was in bed a little sad because her sister had passed away 3 years before.
Around four in the afternoon, I went to the garden and I saw something moving around the firebush. 

I called my Mom and told her to come out of bed that it was a hummingbird! 

She thought I was trying to cheer her up and she said: “No, no, it must be one of those big moths, hummingbirds don't stop in this garden”. 

After some coaxing, she came out of bed without her glasses, and said: “You see, it's a moth”. 

Then I said: “Mom put your glasses on and come here”. 

As she did, she observed our "new friend", our own hummingbird in our garden! 

My mom was in tears because she felt that in a way her sister was letting her know through our new little friend that she was ok and that she was with us. 

Well, he stayed for several days, I guess refueling in his migratory trip. Now, we can't wait until the winter to have him back; this year we were visited by two hummingbirds. 

My mom is filling up the garden with nectar plants just for them.

I am 11 years old and my family, including my sister, love hummingbirds.

"I ordered plants from Nature Hills 5 or 6 different times this spring and I was extremely happy with all the plants. They arrived very well packaged and in excellent condition. Nature Hills is my favorite of the 4 nurseries I ordered from this spring. The plants were often higher priced than other nurseries, but the plants were very large. They were also packaged better than the other nurseries. I'm willing to pay a little more for better quality.(Although the prices was sometimes higher, there was often a discount code or free shipping.)" - Paula S.
