Where
Will They Arrive, and When?
Making Predictions |
|
Where
in the United States will hummingbirds arrive first? Next? When
will they reach you? Here are two ways you can record your predictions
this spring:
|
Option
1: Use a Map
- Each
week, print a blank
map and date it.
- Draw
a line to show how far the migration has moved.
- On
the back, use words to explain what you see.
- Then
predict and draw a new line: Where will the hummingbirds be next
week?
- Save
your map. Compare your predictions with next week's Journey North
map.

Option
2:
Use a Chart
- List
the first 5 states where you predict the hummingbirds will arrive.
- Each
week, record where they did arrive. (You can find this
on the "maps" and "sightings" links on the
hummingbird home page
and on our 2010 Predictions and
Results charts for ruby-throated
and rufous
hummingbirds.)
- Next,
predict where they'll head next!
- Think:
Why do you think the migration will travel in the direction you
predicted?
