The 2026 Hummingbird Fall Migration! Has Started! |
|
The migration usually starts in August in the far north and will vary according to the state or province you live in and the species of hummingbirds you will see. Hummingbirds travel from their Summer homes in North America to a warmer Winter climate escaping the harsh weather in the north. During the migration some of us will see a huge influx in the hummingbird population at their feeders. |

Hummingbirds and bears! by Lynn Ckonjevic
(South Lake Tahoe, Ca.) |
|
We have a hummingbird feeder hanging from a short limb of a pine tree right in front of our porch. It is so much fun watching these little jewels of nature flit in and about our yard! One afternoon I had just taken a shower and was getting ready for work when my boyfriend quietly told me to come out and watch what was going on. A bear was about three feet up our tree and was swatting the hummingbird feeder. He/she would try and catch the sugar water in it's mouth as the feeder would swing back and forth! The bear had the sticky sugar water all over his head and paws! He finally swatted the feeder to the ground and gave it a good cleaning. I thought that I would have to replace the feeder but I was able to put it back together again. I guess I am going to have to find a bear proof area to hang the feeder next spring! What fun nature is! |

It's Time To Plant Your Hummingbird Garden For Next Spring!
Fall Is An Excellent Time For Planting! We've Teamed Up With Nature Hills Nursery.
America's Largest Online Plant Nursery! Nature Hills has one of the BEST rated reputations of all online nurseries available! Nature Hills guarantees that every plant they ship is of the finest quality and that your order will be carefully handled and shipped to ensure that you receive a healthy product. |
|
Why Autumn is Great for Planting! |
|
- Warm soil: The soil retains summer's warmth, which helps new roots grow fast. - Cooler air: Milder air temperatures mean plants experience much less stress and water loss. - Energy focus: Plants put their energy into building strong roots instead of growing leaves or flowers. - Less upkeep: There are fewer weeds and pests, and cooler weather means you need to water less often. |
|
- Trees and shrubs: They get a head start on root growth before winter arrives. - Perennials: Hardy flowering plants establish deep roots to burst out strong in the spring. |

A Few of the Many Positive Reviews for Nature Hills! "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. "I ordered primropp yellow lilacs. They arrived within 10 days. I was very impressed by the packaging the plants arrive in. I was very impressed by the stock of bare roots that arrived strong and healthy. The instructions that came with how to plant a bare-root plants plan excellent. I will definitely order from Nature Hills Nursery again."-Laureen K. "A very good experience. Ordering was a breeze, and although Mother Nature delayed a few products, shipping was quick. Any issues we have encountered have been dealt with, and their customer service has been awesome."-Patty T. "Trees and plants arrived in great shape. They are really growing fast, just keep them watered. Would buy again, wonderful service."-Edward B. "Plants were healthy and arrived in excellent condition!"-Abigail H. |
