Hummingbird Map Questions
(Teachers: Maps are hotlinked for larger projection on smartboard or screen.)
Look at today's rubythroat migration map, today's rufous migration map, and this map of Canadian provinces and territories. Use these maps to answer the questions below.

Map Notes
The names in blue are Canadian provinces and territories.

Sask. = Saskatchewan

P.E.I. = Prince Edward Island

Into which provinces have ruby-throated hummingbirds already migrated?




Into which provinces have rufous hummingbirds migrated?

Are there any provinces where the species overlap — or where you think they might soon overlap?
If so, name them.
Make lines, shading, or dots on the map to show where in Canada you predict each migration will reach by next week. Use one color for rubythroats and another for rufous hummers.
