Oh yay! I can't wait to see my little hummingbird friends again! I looked back at last year's pictures & it was April 15th that I had my first sighting, so right on time for my area according to the map!

True, but you have several other species to look for.

 

[Marck]

In Colorado, Black-chinned Hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri) and Broad-tailed Hummingbird (Selasphorus platycercus) are most common, more so in the southern and western parts of the state.

In my garden, I get Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) year-round and Allen's Hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) and Rufous Humingbird (Selasphorus rufus) are seen regularly in Spring. Other hummingbirds, such as Costa's Hummingbird (Calypte costae), are seen nearby, but not in my garden.

Is it Hummingbird season in the west, yet?

Looking up the live Hummingbird Migration Map is a yearly ritual for me!

I follow the action in CT, then RI, MA south coast, then they arrive in neighboring towns, on Cape Cod.
Then, it is time to put the feeders out on the deck.

I have yet to learn what is matting ritual versus territorial bitching...!

Y’all have a hummingbird SEASON? Ours are here year round.

Keep an eye out for courtship dives. They can be quite dramatic displays. The diagram shows the pattern for the Broad-tailed Hummingbird (Selasphorus playtcercus), but many other hummingbirds do something similar.
