Hummingbirds

I love to feed hummingbirds and it has been a real struggle here in Florida to do so. They come around when they are migrating, but they usually head further north for the summer. I have been here 4 summers now and finally got 1 hummer last year that would visit my feeder daily. I had tons of them in Georgia. Couldn’t keep the feeder full. Hummers are such beautiful creatures and to watch them fly and feed it just a miracle. I can sit close to them and it doesn’t bother them at all. I’ve taken incredible videos of them when we lived in Georgia. But I found out that if I didn’t have the correct feeder, the hummingbirds weren’t going to feed. I love the glass hummingbird feeder ; these are the best hummingbird feeders and I just love all the different colors and shapes they come in. Ruby-throated hummingbirds typically spend their winters around southern Mexico and/or northern Panama. Individual hummingbirds may winter anywhere around this warm area, and usually the males leave first, followed by the females of the species several days later. They make their travels alone, not in a flock like a Canada goose or other migrating bird. They may also leave their winter home at different times. Before they travel, they need to stock up on food, so they eat lots of bugs or gorge at your hummingbird feeder right before the trip. Then they use that energy to fly up to 500 miles, which takes the average hummingbird between 18 and 22 hours.
