Male Hummingbird

Adult Males
The first hummingbirds to head south are adult males. Look for the bright, bold colors of the male to distiguish from females and juveniles. Report all species you see.

Report at least once per week as long as males are present. Do not report when you no longer see them.

All reports go to the map and indicate that males are present.

Females and Juveniles
After the males have left, all of your hummingbirds will look the same but some will be females and some will be juveniles. It's nearly impossible difficult to distinguish between them.

Report at least once per week as long as hummers are present. Do not report when you no longer see them.

All reports go to the map and indicate that hummingbirds are present.
