Hummingbird Migration

Hummingbird migration is the seasonal movement of hummingbirds between their breeding grounds in North America and warmer winter habitats in Central America. They typically migrate alone or in small groups, traveling hundreds to thousands of miles. This journey helps them escape cold temperatures and find abundant food sources such as nectar and insects during winter. Migration usually occurs in spring and fall, guided by environmental cues like daylight length and Earth's magnetic field. Despite their small size, hummingbirds undertake remarkable long-distance journeys, showcasing their adaptability and endurance.
