By May, hummingbirds are widespread across the US after returning from their winter migration. It's a key month to provide them with some essential care in your backyard, as they seek food sources, somewhere to nest, and refuge from predators.
Of course, the methods to attract hummingbirds to your yard are all relevant for spring, but there are some more specific things you can do for hummingbirds in May. This includes avoiding heavy pruning so these clever birds can build their nests on sturdy branches and providing an appropriate water source to keep them cool as temperatures rise.
