When to Hang Hummingbird Feeders

When to hang hummingbird feeders in the spring is a question often asked.

As far as we are concerned, the arrival of the hummingbirds seems like nothing less than a miracle.

Since we live in the northern most part of the northeastern United States, our anticipation of the return of our hummingbirds comes mingled with concern over their survival.
We understand that the hummingbird has an extra long migration to our backyard.
How did the tiny hummingbirds travel this far?
What difficulties did they encounter along the migration route?......Learn more about hummingbird migration.

So to help them as much as possible, we put up our feeders as soon as the weather begins to get warm during the day.
We do recommend that you do this.
If cold nights continue, hummingbirds can use the hibernation-like state of torpor to conserve energy and stay warm....... Learn more about "Torpor".

Generally speaking the Ruby-throated hummingbird begins its spring migration from their winter homes in the south during the months of March and April.
Here in Northern Vermont, our hummingbirds don’t usually arrive until May.
This is late compared to many other parts of the country......Learn more about the Ruby-throated hummingbird

In some states it isn’t necessary to take down or put up hummingbird feeders.

The Anna’s hummingbird is the only hummingbird that does not migrate and lives in the Southwestern United States..... Learn more about the Anna’s hummingbird.

Remember to bring in your feeders to keep the nectar from freezing if a late cold snap does occur.
Hang your feeders early and rest assured that the very first passing hummingbird will have a good meal.
