Abstract

The article explores for a second decade, from November 2008 to March 2018, we examined the species diversity, return rate, longevity, and migration routes of humming birds overwintering in southern Alabama and the panhandle, northern peninsula, and central peninsula of Florida. Site fidelity was high, with 299 humming birds of 5 species returning at least once. Two Rufous Hummingbirds migrated to our study area in the autumn from the West (Oklahoma and Texas).
