Think you just saw a hummingbird, in this cold weather? It might not be your
imagination. by Nancy Henderson
A few decades ago, an occasional but startling phenomenon
began to surface when, here
and there, a hummingbird was
spotted in a Blue Ridge state
long after the first frost.
"It started off light with a
little bit of realization that the
hummingbirds were turning
up in the Southeast in the winter, usually coming to people's
beautiful flowers that they put
out and/or coming to their
hummingbird feeders that
they left up," says Marshall

Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
"Which came first is a little
bit hard to know. Maybe people saw that there was a hummingbird at their flowers and
then put up a feeder for it, and
then that bird and other birds
were able to find it. But the end
result is that through plantings
and hummingbird feeders,
hummingbirds now have food
resources in the Southeast that
they never did before."
