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? (Hint: Look at the distribution
map.)
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. |
| Why
do you think some hummingbirds fly the extra miles toward western
Canada? (Think about what they need to survive: food, shelter, territories,
nesting spots.) |
