Hummingbirds are found in the Americas, from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. They live in diverse habitats like forests, deserts, and mountains.
These tiny birds prefer areas with abundant flowers for nectar. They can be seen in gardens, meadows, and even urban areas with blooming plants.
Hummingbirds are known to migrate long distances. Some species travel from North America to Central America or even cross the Gulf of Mexico during migration.
Their unique ability to hover and fly in all directions makes them well-adapted to their environments. They are also known for their iridescent plumage.
To attract hummingbirds to your yard, plant a variety of colorful flowers like trumpet vine, bee balm, and salvia. Provide sugar water feeders as well.
The next time you spot a hummingbird, remember the amazing places they call home. These tiny creatures bring joy and wonder wherever they go.
