Look at red section on the hummingbird distribution map.
It shows where rubythroats breed. Next, look today's migration map

Ruby-throated
Hummingbird Map Questions (Teachers:
Maps are hotlinked for larger projection on smartboard or screen.)
At
what latitude has the most northern ruby-throated hummingbird been
reported?
How
close do you think that migrant is to the rubythroat's northern
limit?
What
challenges might the hummer face if it went farther north?
Find
a second hummingbird report (dot) on the map. It might be near your
hometown! Which hummingbird do you think will migrate south first,
and why? (Watch today's slideshow
