Anticipate the Ruby-throated hummingbirds to begin their aerial display in Kentucky by mid-April.
Hummingbirds migrate independently, with males leading the way to stake out their feeding territories.
The vibrant Ruby-throated hummingbird is the star summer resident, while rare species may visit during migration.
Prepare for these migratory marvels by placing feeders in mid-March, ahead of their arrival.
The males, with their vivid ruby throats, arrive first, while the females follow a week or two later.
Hummingbirds typically say farewell to Kentucky from late September to early October.
To support late-migrating hummingbirds, keep feeders up through mid-December, or until sightings cease.
