When are hummingbirds here in Arkansas?
Hummingbirds begin migrating to and through Arkansas usually in late March and early April.
While we tend to have just a few birds early, then the numbers pick up as the bulk of the migration moves through during latter April and into May The numbers then drop down as the northern migrants leave the area while the residents set up home here.
The lower numbers continue through well into the summer, as the resident hummers fledge their young and northern migrants begin coming back into the area on their way south. The numbers begin to pick up again, usually in July.
Typically, the best part of our hummingbird season is August and September, and this can continue well into October before the hummers leave for the winter.
