Where do hummingbirds go in winter? Most North American hummingbirds migrate south to Mexico and Central America, traveling up to 2,000 miles. Ruby-throated hummingbirds even fly nonstop across the Gulf of Mexico. Anna’s hummingbirds, found along the Pacific Coast, are the exception and stay year-round in mild climates. Winter migration is fueled by late-blooming flowers and feeders. If you’re in the South or West Coast, keep feeders up—you might host overwintering or migrating hummers! Spotted
