I wrote an article about my winter Hummers for Audubon of Martin County, hopefully some of our members will also write about their hummers. I am now up to at least 6 different RTHB.

I read your article, thanks! Great job!

I completely agree that more people have hummingbirds in their yards. From a recent spontaneous conversation I had at a Target nursery check-out register, I have come to more and more view hummingbirds as "common" Florida birds.

At Target, I bought a hummingbird plant. The cashier said that he saw a hummingbird fly into the Target nursery last year to feed on a plant. The other two people in line told me that they had hummingbirds in their yard too.

Counting myself, there were only four people total in the Target nursery, and ALL FOUR of us had hummingbirds.

Thanks again for the article. You got some very good points across.

Reba,

There are a number of people on this forum from Polk County. For more information on Polk County, search the subjects on the Report Ruby-throated Hummingbird Sightings board.

Migration throughout the state occur between March and May in the spring and between August and October in the fall.
