Every year in March, the first ruby-throated hummingbirds arrive in Gulf
Coast states from their wintering grounds in Central America. Fattened on
insects, the tiny birds fly 500 miles across the Gulf of Mexico and arrive
in the United States hungry for nectar from early spring flowers.
this page (

) will do a little detail work on rubies, and provides a satellite image
with markings along the gulf coast where the little flighters have been
spotted this spring...
