Hummingbird Habitat Maps

We here at the World of Hummingbirds .com worked with Google Earth and Google Maps to create a mapping system of all of the different types or species of hummingbirds around the world. However, we need your help. With our changing climate and environments, we need to see where hummingbirds really are. Please contribute to these maps by clicking on the link to the left.

The best way to view these maps is by using Google Earth. This is a free download and a terrific tool for just about any mapping application you can think of. If you have a computer that does not run Google Earth very well, you can also utilize Google Maps.

How to Read the Habitat Maps

The shaded areas of the map indicate the potential habitats of the different types of hummingbirds based upon past reports and studies. These areas are rough estimates. Since hummingbirds don't seem to like to read reports, we realize that there may be different types or species of hummingbirds in your backyard. Please let us know the types of hummingbirds in your area.

The red markers with a circle indicate the reported summer habitat. The green markers with a square indicate hummingbirds that have been reported to be seen passing though on their way to their summer or winter homes. The blue markers with a diamond indicate the reported winter habitat. The white markers with no icon indicate a reported stray hummingbird, while the yellow markers with a star will indicate where hummingbirds have been reported to live all year long.
