Your Sightings!

Hummingbird sightings are getting sparse. Any Rubythroats seen are likely the later hatchers of summer. Keep your feeders up to give latecomers a chance. Explore an adaptation that helps tiny hummers survive fall's cold temps.

Week #10: Still seeing hummingbirds?
Please report sightings weekly. The goal of our map is to show where hummingbirds are present.
Your photos are welcome too!
