Finding Nectar

Hummingbirds feed at hundreds of flowers every day to gather enough nectar to meet their energy needs. Throughout fall migration, people along the migration trail report about natural food sources they see hummingbirds visiting.

"I spotted 2 immature ruby-throated hummers. They were chasing each other and feeding on pineapple sage, Mexican sunflower, Shrimp Plant, Cuphea 'David Verity' and 'Vermillionaire' and Scarlet Rooster Sage."
