Summary
| Description |
During their long migration, rufous hummingbirds make a clockwise circuit of western North America each year. They move up the Pacific Coast in late winter and spring, reaching Washington and British Columbia by May. As early as July they may start south again, traveling down the chain of the Rocky Mountains. Following this pattern, we do not see them in the spring, but on their return trip in July and August. Patches of showy milkweed appear to be one their favorites on Seedskadee NWR. This juvenile male rufous hummingbird was accompanied by other rufous hummingbirds, hummingbird moths, monarch butterflies, bumblebees, and other pollinators in this patch of showy milkweed. <a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Rufous_Hummingbird/lifehistory" rel="nofollow">www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Rufous_Hummingbird/lifehistory</a> Photo: Tom Koerner/USFWS |
