How much do hummingbirds migrate?

Hummingbirds typically migrate distances ranging from hundreds to thousands of miles, depending on the species. For example, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird migrates approximately 2,000 miles from its breeding grounds in North America to wintering areas in Mexico and Central America. Migration usually occurs in stages, with these birds often flying solo and navigating using landmarks and the position of the sun. Their migration is primarily driven by the availability of food and suitable nesting conditions.
