Do you feed Hummingbirds?

Feed them year round and you may have a rare visitor!

The past several years have produced new sightings, in Ohio, of Anna's, Green Violet-eared, Colliape, Rufous, and Allen's Hummingbirds.

We suspect there are more in Ohio and the eastern U.S. than we know about.

Keep a feeder up during the

winter and see what comes in.

Western Hummingbird species occasionally winter in the eastern U.S.

If you see a rare hummingbird in winter (especially after Nov. 15), contact a hummingbird bander immediately.

We are attempting to band as many as possible to verify the species, track and determine their migration routes, direction of travel, and timeline throughout the Eastern U.S.
