Ready your hummingbird feeders: Hummingbirds are back in NH
Tiny ruby-throated hummingbirds have been seen in New Hampshire as well as as far north as Portland, Maine as of April 22.
The first were seen in New Hampshire on April 18; spotters noted the hummingbirds were searching for petunia to eat on and hummingbird feeders.
It makes sense they would be hungry. From the United States in the summer to Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama in the winter, the small birds—weigh less than a nickel—make a massive annual migration.
The only hummingbird found in the Granite State, their numbers are rising. The New Hampshire Audubon estimates that the state boasts roughly 50% more than in the 1970s.
