As the weather warms up across the country, hummingbirds are beginning their annual trek from their southern overwintering regions up through the United States. According to "Hummingbird Central's" Spring 2025 Sightings and Migration Map, different species of migratory hummingbirds could have started gracing backyards as early as March in southern states, with northern arrivals by late April or May. If you want to attract and support them during their long journey, preparation is key — like setting up feeders and nests where they can rest.
These tiny birds rely on nectar and insects to replenish energy spent crossing mountains, deserts and even oceans (for some species). To help them on their way — and enjoy an up-close look at their brilliant plumage — many gardeners set out specialized feeders brimming with sweet liquid. Placing feeders near native plants and water sources can also increase your odds of a hummingbird encounter.
