Each spring, thousands of hummingbirds migrate through Georgia, returning from their winter homes in Central and South America. These tiny birds, known for their agility and speed, typically head north for breeding grounds. Spring’s warmer weather in March and April brings earlier migrations, offering Georgians the chance to spot these dazzling creatures.
To attract them, set up a hummingbird feeder with sugar water or plant bright-colored, tubular flowers that suit their long beaks. Most often seen during the day when nectar is plentiful, these birds are dazzling. Keep an eye out in the coming weeks for this awe-inspiring natural spectacle!
