Hummingbirds are small, migratory birds that are known for their ability to hover in mid-air and their long, slender beaks. They are found in the Americas, from Alaska to Argentina, and are most commonly seen during the summer months. In North Carolina, hummingbirds are most commonly seen in the eastern part of the state, but they can be found throughout the state during the summer months.
There are a number of things that you can do to attract hummingbirds to your yard or garden. One of the most important things is to provide them with a food source. Hummingbirds are attracted to sweet liquids, such as nectar and sugar water. You can make your own hummingbird food by mixing 1 part sugar with 4 parts water. Be sure to boil the water first to dissolve the sugar completely. You can then place the hummingbird food in a hummingbird feeder and hang it in your yard or garden.
