The two primary resources being sought are food and nesting locations. \u00a0Birds that nest in the Northern Hemisphere tend to migrate northward in the spring to take advantage of burgeoning insect populations, budding plants and an abundance of nesting locations. As winter approaches and the availability of insects and other food drops, the birds move south again. Escaping the cold is a motivating factor but many species, including hummingbirds, can withstand freezing temperatures as long as an adequate supply of food is available.&#8221; &#8211; The Basics of Bird Migration: How, Why, and Where | All About Birds from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutbirds.org\/news\/the-basics-how-why-and-where-of-bird-migration\/\">https:\/\/www.allaboutbirds.org\/the-basics-how-why-and-where-of-bird-migration\/<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Large group of birds in Virginia, cc-by lemasney<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":43239,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7,18,3659,14,1128,3653,17,3654,21,23,29,31,32,5],"tags":[938],"class_list":{"0":"post-43226","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-consulting","8":"category-cv","9":"category-design-principles","10":"category-honors-and-awards","11":"category-illustration","12":"category-insights","13":"category-photography","14":"category-portfolio","15":"category-professional-activities","16":"category-professional-experience","17":"category-research-interests","18":"category-teaching","19":"category-teaching-experience","20":"category-technology","21":"tag-youtube","22":"czr-hentry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/20161208_165755.jpg?fit=3264%2C2448&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3h6y2-bfc","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":43249,"url":"https:\/\/lemasney.com\/consulting\/2017\/01\/15\/technology-classes-with-john-lemasney\/","url_meta":{"origin":43226,"position":0},"title":"Technology Classes with John LeMasney","author":"lemsy","date":"2017-01-15","format":false,"excerpt":"I have the honor of announcing that Jefferson-Madison Regional Library (JMRL) has agreed to let me speak in a free technology series in their beautiful downtown location.
