Ruby-throated hummingbirds are on their long journey back south, and this is when they need us most. Each bird flaps its wings up to 80 times per second and keeps a heartbeat racing at 1,260 beats per minuteburning enormous amounts of energy as they travel.
During migration, they feed every 1015 minutes, often consuming up to three times their body weight in food each day. If your feeders seem busier than ever, thats exactly why.
How to Help:
Keep feeders up through late October.
Use 1 part white sugar to 4 parts water no dyes or additives.
Clean feeders regularly to keep nectar fresh and safe.
Every sip matters for these tiny travelers. By supporting them now, youre giving them the fuel they need to survive the journeyand return again in spring.
