First arrival reported in Mexico

Journey North citizen scientists in Mexico have reported the arrival of Ruby-throated hummingbirds. However, more reports are needed!

From Jaumave, Tamaulipas, Mexico: Arnulfo reported, "Hundreds of ruby throated hummingbirds feeding on Tithonia tubiformis flowers!" (0/12/2019)

Only a few reports for northern US.

From Fergus Falls, MN: Helen commented that they "had already put our feeders away. Lucky for this hummer [our neighbor] had not. Snow in October is rare here and hummers in snow are very rare." (10/14/2019)

From Colorado Springs, CO: Patrick reported seeing "One female hummer at our feeder today. Saw her several times late morning and mid-day, but not in the evening. She was probably just passing through and stopped for a few hours to refuel." (10/20/2019)

Along the Gulf Coast remaining hummingbirds are busy nectaring and recharging at feeders.

From Bristol, FL: Lisa found a hummingbird "Nectaring on the Cardinal Guard and hanging out on a camelia branch nearby on breaks from feeding." (10/21/2019)

From Irving, TX: Barbara "returned home this evening Monday, Oct 21st, and went out to the back yard to see if my little hummer buddy would appear and he did. I picked the feeder up to move it in the sun so I could get a better picture if he did appear and just a little bit after I picked up the feeder, he flew on over and around, like letting me know he's still there, not to take his feeder away. I know here soon, I'll walk out and he won't greet me in the early mornings when I bring his feeder out." (10/21/2019)
