We are now entering the peak of hummingbird season. More hummingbirds are seen in Westchester during the last week of August and the first half of September than at any other time of year.
Why? All the hummingbirds that spent the summer in New England are migrating south. They fly south and soon run into Long Island Sound. Rather than fly over the sound, they head west along the Connecticut shoreline until they can fly south again over land. And that land is lower Westchester.
This summer customers have been reporting more hummingbirds than in recent years. Now when we add in the migrating hummingbird we should be seeing a lot of hummingbirds in the next three weeks.
Keep your eyes open. Be sure you feeder is full. And watch the feeder and nearby flowers. Only a few weeks left to see hummingbirds
