What Your Hummingbirds Are Doing Right Now, State by State

📕 The Hummingbird book that answers your actual questions: https://victorcarpenter.com/hummingbi... I follow the migration line moving across North America and trace what hummingbirds are doing in different states right now. I explain why daylight—not just temperature, feeders, or local weather—sets the timing, why northern birds are departing, where migration is peaking in the Ohio Valley, and how the Southeast and Gulf Coast fit into the journey. I also explore why hummingbirds migrate alone, how Southwest birds differ from Pacific Coast residents, how these tiny travelers navigate, and how they remember the routes they use year after year. I finish by showing how I track migration in my own county so I can understand what the next hummingbird movement may bring. 0:00 The migration line over your yard 1:38 Daylight triggers migration 3:39 Northern birds are departing 5:03 Ohio Valley migration peak 6:38 The Southeast migration corridor 8:02 The Gulf Coast staging ground 9:35 Hummingbirds migrate alone 10:30 Southwest hummingbirds head south 11:33 Pacific Coast residents remain 12:40 How hummingbirds migrate 14:27 Hummingbirds remember their routes 15:41 Track migration in your county #Hummingbirds #BirdMigration #BirdWatching #BackyardBirds #Nature
