Michigan is known for having 6 different types of hummingbirds including the Ruby-throated hummingbird, Rufous hummingbird, Anna’s hummingbird, White-eared hummingbird, Broad-billed hummingbird, and the Mexican violetear.

These little birds can do some pretty impressive things.

For example did you know hummingbirds are they only bird that can fly forward, backwards, sideways and up and down.

Hummingbirds can also fly an impressive 1,000 miles at a time, that's a long way for such little wings, and soon they'll be arriving here in Michigan.

When Do Hummingbirds Arrive In Michigan?

Here in Michigan, we can expect to start seeing hummingbirds in mid-April and into early May.

I've never set up a hummingbird feeder before, but I think I'm going to go out and buy one so I have a better chance of seeing these beautiful little birds out in my backyard.
