There’s a familiar buzz in the air in LaSalle Parish and surrounding areas as the migration of the ruby-throated hummingbird is well into its prime. Starting in late February, the tiny beauties began migrating southward to our area to their nesting grounds to build nests, lay their eggs and raise their young. The beating of the wings and the distinctive darting and flying patterns, not to mention the size of these beautiful birds, are among the many reasons locals put forth the effort to attract hummingbirds to their gardens and porches.
