Welcome to Hummingbird101!
We are a passionate group of hummingbird enthusiasts who want to share the magic and beauty of these incredible birds.
Hummingbirds have captivated people for centuries with their vibrant colors, their speed and agility, and their almost mystical ability to hover in midair.
We created this site as a labor of love, in hopes of providing the most comprehensive online resource about hummingbirds.
Our vision was to create not just an informational site, but a welcoming community for fellow hummingbird devotees.
We want Hummingbird101 to offer you:
- Hundreds of species profiles for hummingbirds across the Americas. Detailed information to help identify backyard visitors.
- A library of care guides covering topics like feeders, nectar mixes, landscaping, nesting boxes, overwintering, and more. Everything to welcome hummingbirds.
- Stunning photo galleries and high-definition videos to showcase hummingbird splendor. Added daily by dedicated contributors.
- Fun DIY tutorials for feeders, baths, accessories, and garden projects. Creative ways to enjoy the hobby.
- Localized hummingbird news by region to share migration timing, rare sightings, research, festivals and more. Always fascinating to read.
- Storytelling pieces about dedicated hobbyists, researchers, birders, photographers, and everyday enthusiasts. Profiles that inspired.
- (in the near future) Interactive features like the photo of the day, nest cam livestreams, weekly quizzes, and identification guides. Engaging content.
- A weekly newsletter, blogs and social media updates to share new developments in the hummingbird world. Staying on top of it all.
- (in the near future) A thriving forum where people could post sightings, ask questions, and share photos. Lifelong friendships formed over a shared passion.
