Wintering in Texas
The
number of Rufous hummingbirds reported spending the winter in the
United States is growing — especially along the Gulf Coast.
(They usually spend the winter farther south in Mexico.)
How
do these winter hummers survive? You be the judge!
-
Watch this slideshow about a female Rufous who
hung around a backyard in Houston, Texas one winter.
- Think.
What do hummingbirds need to survive? How could the Rufous meet
her needs in that backyard habitat?
- Write
down what you find on this handout.
The green arrow shows where the hummer
spent the winter.
