Attracting Hummingbirds



Hummingbirds get their
energy from flower nectar
and the sugar water they
find at feeders (recipe
below).
For protein and real
nourishment, however,
they eat insects and
spiders.
You might try putting out
overripe fruit. Banana
peels are good to attract
flies for your
hummingbirds.

Ohio Bird Migration
Bird species have diverse modes of
migration
Bird species
The varied patterns and modes of bird
migration as adaptations.
migration has conferred an advantage to only
certain bird species,
its not evolving in other species that remain
resident, sedentary, year-round.
a particular species migrates depends on a
number of factors.
The climate of the breeding area is important,
as few species can with the harsh winters of
inland Canada.

diurnal (occurring during the day) or nocturnal.
nocturnal migrants e.g. warblers, hummingbirds,
and flycatchers, . By migrating at night, they
minimize the risk of predation, and avoid the
overheating from the energy expended to fly such
long distances.
Those smaller species that migrate during the day
they are relatively short and weather-driven, like
the larks and finches,
They can feed on the wing eg.swallows ,swifts.
Migratory birds follow established
routes




Migration often is concentrated along wellestablished routes known as flyways.
its are shaped by geographical, ecological, and
meteorological factors.
Flyways typically follow mountain ranges or
coastlines,
take advantage of updrafts and other wind
patterns.or avoid geographical barriers,.
Patterns of migration
Many migratory European and North American
species fly south in winter

The Northern Pintail breeds in the northern areas of Europe
and Asia .

The distance traveled by migratory birds of the Northern
Hemisphere varies widely.
Some European birds, such as the insect-eating warblers,
flycatchers, and wagtails,
migrate to areas of Africa south of the Sahara
North American birds, like the ruby-throated hummingbird,
the American robin and several species of grackles, winter in
the states along the Gulf Coast.
Many northern-breeding ducks, geese, and swans are also
long-distance migrants,

The Australian Rainbow Bee-eater winters north of
its breeding range.
bird migrations in the Southern Hemisphere are less
well-observed than Northern ones),
many species do in fact breed in the temperate
regions of the Southern Hemisphere and winter
further north in the tropics.

Australian Satin Flycatcher, Dollarbird, and Rainbow
Bee-eater,

The Woodland Kingfisher migrates into the equatorial
zone during the dry season.
There is little variation in the length of day
throughout the year,
it is always warm enough for an adequate food
supply.
