Beebalm, Wild bergamot, Horsemint , Monarda fistulosa.Interested in some of the initial findings? Here are some of the most commonly reported native plants through Hummingbirds at Home: Beebalms Results from 2013 to 2018 were published in the peer-reviewed journal Landscape and Urban Planning in 2020. Over the program's run, 21 hummingbird species were reported to Hummingbirds at Home as well as 371 identified blooming plant species. We received thousands of feeding reports that are an important first step to understanding the important relationship between hummingbirds and their food sources. As plant bloom times change in response to climate change, do hummingbirds adapt to feed from other nectar plants?
From this, Audubon scientists studied how this reflects the changing climate’s impacts on hummingbirds and their habitats. One goal of Hummingbirds at Home was to learn more about hummingbird feeding habits from a variety of nectar sources. Wanting to help these amazing birds, participants in Audubon’s Hummingbirds at Home observed hummingbirds and their insatiable feeding, and reported their observations to the program. Those hefty appetites were the focus of Hummingbirds at Home, a community science program run by Audubon from 2013 to 2021.
To sustain their supercharged metabolisms, hummingbirds must eat once every 10 to 15 minutes and visit between 1,000 and 2,000 flowers per day. The Rufous Hummingbird undertakes the longest avian migration in the world, if based upon distance traveled in proportion to body size. A diverse family, hummingbirds include the world's smallest bird, the Bee Hummingbird of Cuba, and some of the strongest migrants. Hummingbirds are truly remarkable and fascinating creatures.
