Where Have All The Hummingbirds Gone !

Hummingbirds are a migratory bird leaving in fall for parts of Central America, and South America. There was an old wives tale that said that hummingbirds rode on the backs of other birds to migrate (not true). Well they are on there way back, and have been spotted in Texas. The males are usually the first to arrive, followed by the females weeks later. So break out those feeders, as they will need all the energy they can get because of the long flight. The males come up first and establish their teritories and to get ready for the arrival of the females. A hummingbird flap their wings about 10-15 times per second, that’s alot of beats to get here from Central America. Let’s give the little fellas a big welcome.
