Welcome spring with the arrival of Ruby-throated hummingbirds in Pennsylvania, typically by the end of April.
Males arrive first, scouting for territories, followed by females who join to mate and nest throughout the summer.
Cultivate a hummingbird-friendly garden with native wildflowers like bee balm and lilies, and skip the pesticides.
Set out your hummingbird feeders in early April to cater to the first wave of these nectar-loving visitors.
Prepare for the hummingbirds' departure as they leave Pennsylvania for warmer climes by late September.
Keep feeders up until late October to provide sustenance for any straggling hummingbirds.
For avid birders, Moraine and Presque Isle State Parks offer excellent opportunities for hummingbird sightings.
