There are a lot of migratory birds either passing through on their way north or coming back to north Texas for the summer. One of my favorites is the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology it is eastern North America’s only breeding hummingbird and has the largest breeding range of any North American Hummingbird. We have a lot of coral trumpet honeysuckle and trumpet vines in our area. Since the Ruby Throat likes red or orange tubular flowers we have a lot of these birds around our place. They also like to eat small insects such as gnats, fruit flies and mosquitoes.
