Breeding Populations "Winter" Hummingbirds |
Hummingbirds of Southeast Louisiana, are really two groups: Those that breed here (and elsewhere in the Eastern US) and those that breed in the Pacific Northwest or Mexico and spend their winters with us.

Only Ruby-throated hummingbirds breed in this area. They migrate north from Mexico and Central America in the spring and return in the fall. These are the native hummingbirds east of the Rockies.

They're located just south of Covington proper at Three Rivers Road. I strongly recommend them. |
