Ruby-throated Hummingbird Map Questions
(Teachers: Map is hotlinked for larger projection on smartboard or screen.)

Look at the band of dots (red) that show hummer reports from last week. Within what major lines of latitude do most of the reports fall?

There are about 69 miles between each degree of latitude. Can you calculate about how far north the Rubythroat migration traveled in the past week?

This week the rubythroats surged west. Compare the map with the distribution map and write a short summary about the week's migration.
