It’s Hummingbird season again. Below is one of the many hummingbird migration maps you can use to keep track of the rub-throated hummingbird.
Hi Hummingbird lovers we have found a new blog which also contains a new migration map that you can participate in. The map is located here…
We are located in Georgia, there has been a report just last week of a ruby throated hummingbird sited in the state. Keep you eyes open. Typically we are mid to late March in the Atlanta area.
We get asked all the time will hummingbirds come to a window feeder – the answer is yes!
In fact hummingbirds will feed right from your hand. Here’s a video showing just how easy it is to attract them to you.
Hey Hummingbird lovers, I ran across this from Cornell Labs it’s a live cam for hummingbirds in West Texas.
The best part of it is there are several different varieties of birds at this feeder sponsored by Perky Pet.
ENJOY!
I was checking the hummingbird feeders this morning and noticed that the smallest one was empty.
Needing just a little bit of nectar I whipped out my Sugar Shaker Nectar Maker (TM). I poured the sugar to the bottom line, added the water to the top line. Put the lid on and then shook it for 30 seconds.
It dawned on me the reason I like this product so much is that there is no measuring needed, no boiling needed, and above all for 6:30am…
There is NO THINKING NEEDED!!!
It will not be too long before the Atlanta area Ruby-throated hummingbirds begin their migration.
Customers are reporting a large uptick in the number of hummingbirds at their feeders each day. The same rise in volume of birds happen each year at this same time. By August and through September this NE Georgia area experiences it’s greatest number of these beautiful birds.
The reason appears to be that A: We have our normal birds here + B: All of their baby hummingbirds are here + C: We have the northern migrating birds here as well.
They will be with us until it gets cold so keep refreshing the nectar and cleaning those hummingbird feeders.

Did you know that a hummingbird can fly forwards, backwards , or even standing up?
The picture below shows a Ruby-throated hummingbird “standing” still in place. It appears to move to this vertical positions when it wants a better view.
