World Migratory Bird Day – May 11, 2024
World Migratory Bird Day
- Hummingbirds migrate from Canada and United States southward in search of flowers, insects, and other food sources.
- The journey starts in the late summer and fall, spurred not by hunger or falling temperatures but by decreasing daylight hours.
- They spend the winter in the tropical habitats in Mexicao and Central America.
- In late winter and early spring, the Hummingbirds return north to breeding grounds in the United States and Canada.
