The incredible hummingbird migration

Hummingbird migration patterns are a testament to how incredible these birds are.

There are many myths concerning hummingbird migration. Let me clear some of those up right now. The first myth is that Hummingbirds migrate on the back of geese. This is totally a myth and it has been researched that hummingbirds migrate not even in flocks, but alone. These tiny birds fly thousands of miles alone almost non-stop.

The second myth is that leaving your feeders up during the winter will deter a hummingbird's migration urge and keep it there. This is also a myth. When the time comes for a hummingbird migration, a natural instinct greater than hunger will tell the bird to migrate and fly. There is however, a population of hummingbird that tends to stick around during the winter. Because of this fact, many experts ask that you leave your feeders out during the winter to provide a source of food for migrating hummingbirds and hummingbirds that stick around for the winter. They should be cleaned and maintained in the same fashion as before.

Hummingbird migration patterns and tendencies are still being researched and observed. When you think about this tiny bird, no bigger than a human palm, flying alone, non-stop, for thousands of miles, it truly is a testament to how incredible they are.
