Show Notes
Join us as we explore the incredible journey of ruby-throated hummingbirds migrating to the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area. These tiny birds, weighing less than a nickel, embark on a 500-mile nonstop flight over the Gulf of Mexico. Males arrive first, followed by females, fueled by fat reserves for energy. Spot them along rivers like the Potomac or Chesapeake Bay, where native blooms and feeders provide essential stopovers. Climate shifts are pushing earlier arrivals, potentially mismatching with blooming plants and bug hatches. To attract these birds to your yard, plant native flowers or use sugar-water feeders. Keep feeders out through late September to help stragglers, marking the true start of spring.
