The 2026 Hummingbird Fall Migration! Has Started And Well Underway! We Had Our Last Visitor This Past Monday! |
|
Sad to say that we had our last hummer this past Monday September 14th here in northern Vermont. This week, the main influx of migrating hummers should be through the section of states from Kansas & Oklahoma east to Virginia & North Carolina. 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. |

When To Take Down Your Hummingbird Feeders! |
|
In the Autumn we recommend leaving your feeders up for approximately two (2) weeks after you have seen the last hummingbird. There might be one or a few travelers migrating in need of a stop-over meal. They might stay for one day or several. |

Fall 2026 Rufous, Allen's Hummingbird Migration started in July! September 5, 2026
by Sharon
(Redding, CA) |
|
We received our first Rufous and Allen's Hummingbirds migrating south in late July this year, 2026. Normally, they begin to arrive here, in Shasta County, California, in late August to late September. At first, we wondered if the massive forest fires up north had driven the hummingbirds south. But the number of migrating birds has steadily increased since late July. Normally, I hang 2 to 3 fresh 16 oz. feeders daily, between migration seasons. Right now, during the first week of September, I am hanging 6 to 7 16 oz. fresh feeders daily, and buying sugar by the 25lb. bag. Year-round, we have a busy population of Anna's and Calliope Hummingbirds. We feel so privileged to be able to help these little birds get carb loaded for their long journey. When there is an empty feeder, one of the beautiful male hummingbirds hovers near me to let me know that I need to get busy filling it. If I am indoors, they find me inside of the house wherever I am and hover in front of the window. I love being bossed around by hummingbirds. They are such amazing beings! They predicted the early Fall of 2026 long before our meteorologists. |

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. |
