I'm pretty new here on DG. Last summer I had Hummers fighting over my feeders, this year I added an additional feeder to keep them all happy. Sad thing is, I haven't seen even one hummingbird this year :o( Does anyone know the migration pattern for Hummers? Or even a link on the web that could help me. So far all the Google searches I have tried show me migration patterns for the North, South and East. I'm at my wits end trying to find a map of the Western migrations, in particular So. California (I'm located in San Diego County)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just love sitting on my patio and watching all the beautiful Hummers that come by.
Sorry Melissa. The only site I know of that tracks the migration of hummingbirds is on the eastern part of the US, and only tracks the ruby throated hummers. You might ask them though. Try [HYPERLINK@hummingbirds.net]
You should have Anna's Hummingbirds all year round residents, Black-chinned and Costa's as breeding summer visitors, and Allen's, Calliope and Rufous on passage in spring and autumn.
Grow lots of plants with tubular red flowers, that'll pull them in. Then just use sugar feeders for supplements. And make sure there's some dense shrubs around for them to nest and hide from predators in.
Wow!! Thank you Resin ;o) That sure was a lot of help!! I'm in the process of actually re-landscaping my front yard and I was actually looking at some bushes for the hummers. Thank you so much.
