Hummingbirds are migratory birds, meaning they travel to warm
locations when winter comes. When the hummingbirds travel from
their winter home to their warm-weather home, the males go first.
This is probably because the males want to stake out the best
territory in order to attract females. Also, the females don't
want to migrate until the nectar-producing flowers they need for
sustenance are in bloom. The males not only arrive sooner, they
leave first. This leaves more food for the hatchlings. If you're
looking for hummingbird
nests look for hummingbird females.
