What is faster than a bullet, stronger than a locomotive (pound for pound), for tall buildings in a single sentence and eats the equivalent of 278 Big Macs to the jump day, losing only to maintain weight?
So, we thought. I speak of a hummingbird, species seventeen, which are known in the United States of America in nested. While all the hummingbirds that visit North America migrate in some way or another, many of which are access roads thatreally amazing. If you live in the East, you are probably more familiar with the ruby throat hummingbird, and if you live in the West, you will probably be a number of visits by Black-chinned. Each spring, appear and disappear each fall.
Why migrate? Hummingbirds migrate short window of opportunity to exploit habitats population can not sustain the same year. Then this generally means fly north in spring and autumn in the south. There is goodHummingbird is very aware of the photoperiod (the amount of daylight against dark) and resolves their migrations. Other scientists believe that the flowering and the fall in insect populations bloom in spring and autumn, the birds follow the food chain. So the hummingbirds migrate north to take advantage of the goodness of flowers and insects that spring brings to North America to take. This provides the nourishment and energy for courtship, mating, nesting needs and education of theirYoung people are thus ready for the fall migration south.
The spring migration begins in February with sightings of Ruby throat hummingbird return to all the Gulf States and lower the number of black-chinned back to the states border Mexico. Those of the northern states will again begin their migration later, the possibility of blossoming flowers and insects to hatch before the return, usually the same gardens and investors who have leftlast fall.
Where are they going? This is where it gets really interesting. The ruby throat hummingbirds spend the winter in Central America, take the direct route available, whereas in the north, in the Yucatan peninsula and nearly 500 miles wide Gulf of Mexico! After a short rest, they share their journey north to the southern part of the eastern provinces of Canada and west to Texas.
In the West, Black-chinned Hummingbird is theSuch a migration from Central America, the resolution all the way to southern British Columbia.
During the spring and summer, the hummingbirds will find plenty of food for the entire range. When autumn arrives, the days begin to shorten in August, the hummingbirds go into overdrive Eating wins between 25% and 40% of body weight in preparation for their long migration south. Soon everyone will begin to move south to stop individually, flying just above the treetops, oftenfor food on the road. The Black-chinned, follow the refined back their long journey to Central America in their natural instinct and years of experience, is broken. Migrating Ruby-throat is located south much more dangerous than most of their way to be finally back on the Gulf of Mexico, many for the first time when they make their way into the Gulf of Mexico, have on average 20-25 miles a day , after the Mississippi flyway, or chain of the Appalachians to the south. Oncetheir arrest, the coast and is filled and then a single non-stop 20-hour flight of about 500 miles across the Gulf of Mexico in Panama. Sailors and fishermen in the Gulf region have reported seeing them fly low over water, 200 miles from land. The flight path is used will take them equal to their first lap.
