Do male Hummingbirds return before females?

Yes, male Hummingbirds usually return to their breeding grounds before the females. In many Hummingbird species, the males migrate north in early spring to establish territories and start defending their feeding areas. They may arrive a few weeks or even a month before the females, who typically arrive later in the spring or early summer. This pattern of migration is likely related to the males' need to establish their territories and ensure access to food sources before the females arrive and start nesting.
