Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have one of the longest migration paths of any hummingbird. Wintering in Central America and migrating through Mexico and Texas in the Eastern US coast. It is believed that some Ruby-throated Hummingbirds do make the 500-mile shortcut across the Gulf of Mexico. During the spring migration, males travel ahead of females to set up forging territories. Males are very territorial. | Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have one of the longest migration paths of any hummingbird.
