Unpave the Way for Hummingbirds When Your Habitat is Complete, Put Your Site on the Map How to Create a Haven for Hummingbirds! Hummingbirds rely on nectar as a major part of their diet. You can attract hummingbirds to your yard and help them along on their long journey by providing a hummingbird feeder with sugar water and by planting a hummingbird garden to provide natural nectar plants too! Fill 'er Up! Grow Natural Nectar Plants Naturally Native Hummingbird Favorites ... Hummer Hotlinks Fill 'er Up! The best solution to fill your hummingbird feeder is a simple granulated sugar boiled water mixture, prepared according to the following directions. ( CAUTION NEVER use honey or artificial sweeteners! Honey spoils rapidly. Artifical sweeteners provide no nutritional value (i.e. calories), so a hummer may drink the liquid but receive no nutrition and thus starve. Food coloring is not recommended either.) Recipe for sugar water: The basic mixture is 1 part ordinary white granulated sugar to 4 parts water.

4. Legends & Folklore Of Birds: Hummingbirds - . hummingbirds in British Columbia folklore and in other First Nations cultures. http://www.folklore.bc.ca/Hummingbirds.htm

The British Columbia Folklore Society Hummingbirds in Folklore and Legend. The American anthropologist Dr. George M. Foster, in , (1949) Maria Leach (ed.) New York, 1972, p.510 writes HUMMINGBIRD: A minor character in American Indian folktale and mythology. The northern Paiute Indians [U.S. Great Basin area] say that Hummingbird once filled his pants full of seeds and started on a journey to see what was beyond the sun. He ate only one seed a day, but had to turn back because his food gave out. He didn't see anything. In eastern Brazil, Hummingbird is the character who hoarded water so that the people had none at all until the Caingang and Botocudo Indians released it. Philip Drucker, on page 451 of The Northern and Central Nootkan Tribes [on the west coast of Vancouver Island] Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin 144, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, 1951 wrote Pages 472-549 of The Report of the 70th Meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science Today the Skqomic are usually referred to as the Squamish. They live in an area to the north and north-west of Vancouver on the coastal mainland of B.C.

Honey ferments easily, and can cause sores in a hummers mouth. Artificial sweeteners have no food value. DO NOT use red food coloring in your solution, as this could be harmful to your hummers. No testing has been done on the effects dye has on birds. Most feeders have red on them and that should be enough.

Answers Species Science Community ... Home Spring 2005 Migration of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds What about the southward migration? Mike Patterson tracks the Rufous migration . Stacy Jon Peterson tracks winter hummingbirds in the eastern U.S. This discussion of Ruby-throated migration may answer your questions. Previous years' maps are available for study and comparison: There are a number of reasons why I don't map the southward migration: Too many reports would be "Oops! Please disregard my last-bird report of yesterday. I just saw another hummer." The southward migration is much more diffuse and extended than the northward, with some adult male Ruby-throats heading south as early as July 1, while the juveniles may not leave until November (depending on latitude). There isn't the same sense of anticipation and excitement as in the spring, when many folks haven't seen a hummer for six months. The information is not useful for feeder planning Thanks to the 3,743 people who reported their first hummers of 2005!

HUMMINGBIRDS Trochilidae Species in family 328 Species observed [DR] 157 (48%) Species photo'd [DR] 28 A male Allen's Hummingbird (top) turns its head (left) and suddenly the observer is dazzled by a flash of spectacular glittering color. Iridescent color among birds is one of nature's wonders, and hummingbirds display a full spectrum. For many species, iridescence is limited to a throat gorget, or a gorget and crown, but on others the entire body is jeweled with waves of color, such as on that Costa Rican endemic, the Coppery-headed Emerald The beauty, (usually) tiny size, and their ability to hover and fly backwards makes hummingbirds unique. Further, their interdependence on and co-evolution with flowers provide a fascinating correlation and field for study. This Amazilia Hummingbird in the barrens of coastal Peru (below left) has found a patch of red tubular flowers. Because the sources of nectar is constantly changing as flowers bloom and fade, most hummingbirds live solitary lives, aggressively defending nectar sources from rivals. Yet despite the strong pressure to gather nectar rapidly, studies have shown that 70% of a hummer's time is spent doing little else than singing, self-preening, and sunbathing (Schuchmann 1999). When natural nectar is harder to locate, hummingbirds readily adapt to human-made hummingbird feeders. This vagrant

Click here for more topics about backyard birdfeeding and the wild birds visiting your yard! Hummingbirds How do hummingbirds eat? Hummingbirds are very small birds with a high metabolism. A great deal of energy is spent flying, so they must feed almost constantly. Hummingbirds can consume up to 50% of their weight in sugar (nectar solution) each day. They usually feed on nectar and insects. Hummingbirds actually lap up the nectar with their tongues. A lot of people think that hummingbirds have a hollow tongue like a straw. Their tongues do have grooves on the sides that collect nectar. When the bill constricts, the hummingbird can swallow the nectar from flowers and feeders. Hummingbirds are able to perch and will do so at feeders regularly. Because they fly so much, they have poorly developed feet. They can barely walk at all. The hummingbird is much more comfortable in flight. Feeding Hummingbirds It is important to keep any nectar feeder clean and filled with fresh solution.
