Description
The Ruby Throated Hummingbird is found consistently all over the Eastern U.S. and Canada. Pictured here is a female captured in my yard in Virginia.
Ruby-throats gather in Florida, Louisiana and along the South Texas coast in September in preparation for the final push to the south, either over the Gulf of Mexico or via an overland route through Mexico.
First arrivals in the spring, usually males, are back in Texas and Louisiana in late February to mid-March. In more northern states and Canadian provinces, first arrivals are not until April or May.
While most will migrate to Mexico and further south, some Ruby-throats do spend the winter along the U.S. Gulf Coast, from Texas to Florida, and some along the southern Atlantic coastal regions.
Lifespan of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird
The average life span is estimated by experts to be 3 - 5 years. Most deaths occur in the first year of life. The record age of a banded ruby-throated hummingbird is 6 years, 11 months.
The feathers of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird contain no pigment. So in bright light it appears an iridescent red, while in poor light the gorget can appear black. The black gorget can make some nature lovers assume they are seeing a Black-chinned Hummingbird.
