The Hummers are Coming!



[Original Posting Date: Monday, March 24, 2008]


No, I'm not talking about the gas-guzzling military vehicle! I'm talking birds -- hummingbirds, that is. The hummers are coming! Hummingbirds are migratory and they are currently working their way back up North America from being down south for the wintertime. In my part of the country (northern Ohio) the main hummingbird is a Ruby-throated hummingbird. Here is a map that shows their progress: Hummingbird Migration Map. (Don't forget to refresh the map for the most updated dates!)


Hummingbirds, according to some symbolism, are messengers of optimism, sweetness, beauty and love. They are tiny, elusive creatures that bring joy to the person viewing them and they survive on the sweetness of nectar from flowers. Hummingbirds aren't to be underestimated though, they are fighters when they need to be! Hummingbirds are protective and territorial and are also known as a, "warrior." Tiny hummingbirds are know to have the heart of an eagle!
