Hummingbird Sightings have been made in southern VA.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

They’re so close now! Monitor Hummingbird Migration 2021 on Hummingbird Central’s<\/strong> 2021 Hummingbird Migration Map<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you ready? Get your feeders out now.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Greet these amazing birds after their exhausting journey, with Hummingbird feeders<\/a> filled<\/strong> and waiting. Need help? Stop by the store for feeders and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though many of us won’t have regular<\/em> visitors until flowers bloom in May, these first migrants coming through really need to bulk up after their long migration. Not many flowers yet, so we need to help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t miss out on the fun!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Check out The Backyard Naturalist’s Checklist for Hummingbird Hosts<\/a> for feeding tips and a recipe to Make Your Own Hummingbird Nectar<\/strong> (It’s easy!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Backyard Naturalist is fully stocked with all the feeders, poles, nectars and accessories<\/a> you could possibly need!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make your backyard more enticing!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Along with nectar feeders, add other incentives for Hummingbirds:
Provide nesting material<\/strong>, like Hummingbird Nesting Helper<\/a> to help a Mama Hummingbird line her nest more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plant flowers that Hummingbirds love!<\/strong> We have non-GMO seeds for flowers that attract Hummingbirds<\/a>, Bees, Butterflies and Songbirds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Share your sightings!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
