I have been feeding and watching hummingbirds
for 25 years. This was the first time I
have ever seen a hummingbird in Gainesville in December, January and now February. However, prior to my Feb 20 sighting I had been away from
home for about a month, and of course was not here to observe the
hummingbirds that I saw in December and January.
So how do you tell the migrants from the hummingbirds that have
wintered in Florida? It was easy for me last year to report my first
hummingbird migrant as I hadn't seen any hummingbirds during the winter
months.
