Pollinator in Repose
2017
Species illustrated: Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) and Coral Honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens)
The Rufous Hummingbird, which breeds in northwestern North America and winters in Mexico, makes the longest migration relative to its body size of any bird. They build their nests from spider webs and lichen and can be encouraged to do so in your yard by maintaining shrubs and deciduous trees near artificial or natural nectar sources (such as the Coral Honeysuckle).
