Tiny Terrorists
There's a charming folk tale from the Pacific Northwest which says that Rufous Hummingbirds migrate north in the springtime on the backs of Canada Geese, and that they return south in the fall by the same method. Charming as it is, it's just mythology. Furthermore, from what I've seen over the past couple of weeks in my backyard, I doubt the geese would put up with the little terrorists, nor would the hummingbirds permit the geese to invade their territory long enough to climb onto their backs!

Winter Hummingbird Information
I've had longstanding questions about the Anna's hummingbirds which overwinter here in the Pacific Northwest (and along much of the Pacific coast). How dependent are they on our feeders? By feeding them in the winter, are we making them unnaturally dependent on our feeders? When other food sources are less available, as they are in the winter, would it be wise to feed hummers a commercial solution of nectar which provides added nutrients, or should we continue to feed a solution of one part sugar and four parts water, as we do the rest of the year? I consulted an expert, Sheri Williamson, author of the recently published Peterson's Guide to Hummingbirds of North America. Sheri's response is included here in its entirety.
