May is here and hummingbird migration is now widespread throughout North America. Please report your observations to Journey North as we gear up to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day on Saturday, May 13.
From the Midwest to the Northeast, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have made significant progress north since last week’s update. Warmer weather is projected in the coming weeks promising the last big surge of migrating Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.
The Atlantic Flyway has been very active with one observation of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird in Nova Scotia. Many observers in southern regions of Canada are still waiting for their first observations. Will these first sightings happen soon?
Ruby-throated hummingbirds now are being observed in Minnesota, Michigan, and Massachusetts. Rufous hummingbirds have moved northward along the Pacific coast, reaching Alaska. Other Western hummingbird species are moving into their breeding ranges. Please continue to report your Ruby-throated, Rufous, Allen's, Anna's, Black-chinned, Broad-tailed, Calliope, and Costa’s observations to Journey North!
