America's Most Beloved Bird: The Hummingbird

It is important to note that hummingbirds usually arrive in our area by Mid-April and usually leave around Mid-September to early October. Although, if you forget to take your feeder(s) down in the fall, rest assured that will not prevent them from migrating. Healthy birds will leave on schedule and your remaining feeder(s) may provide a life-saving energy boost for weak or injured stragglers.

With a little planning and know-how, you can make your yard a haven for these wonderful little creatures!

Great Hummingbird Videos

This video is a must-see! Watch hummingbird nestlings grown in their nest, their mother feeding them, and eventually fledging! Very neat video (if you can disregard the author's ad blurbs for his art throughout). Gives you a "bird's eye view" of these little creatures!

This video shows some upclose footage of hummingbirds feeding, and just how close they will actually get to humans!
