This map shows how much colder or warmer last week's temperatures were than normal temperatures during the second week in March.
  • Look at the part of the country where the leading ruby-throated hummingbirds are now migrating. How would you describe the temperatures there?
  • Look at the part of the country where the leading rufous hummingbirds are migrating. How would you describe the temperatures there?
  • How do you think each of the migrations could be affected? Explain your answer. (Hint: Think about what hummers need to survive.)
