ELCOME TO HUMMINGBIRDS.NET, your source for information on attracting, watching, feeding, and studying North American hummingbirds.

See the Photo Album for credits

If you're a first-time visitor with a specific question, start with the FAQ, or check the Attracting, Feeders, and About sections. I will try to answer other questions by email, but please browse this site before writing. Don't forget to tell me where you live, or I probably won't be able to help you; 16 species of hummingbird breed in North America, each one is different, and location is the best clue to identification.

Don't ask me to guess why you have fewer/more/zero hummingbirds at your feeder. A look at the Attracting and Feeders sections should give you some ideas. Kids, please don't ask me to do your homework for you.

Feel free to submit photos, articles, and non-commercial links for possible inclusion. I can't handle customer service inquiries about products, because I don't sell anything.

Enjoy your stay, and take good care of your hummers!
