how fast can ruby-throated hummingbirds fly?
Sincerely, Dick Montgomery A Most of the North American Hummingbirds migrate. The ones that go the farthest are the Rufous and the Ruby-throat. They may make trips to destinations which are as far as 2000 miles away.The hummingbird you have in northern Wisconsin is the Ruby-throated.n spring the birds probably follow the same route to come back north. A Ruby-throated Hummingbird flies at about 27 miles per hour if there is no tail wind or head wind. This would mean that long 500 mile flight across the Gulf of Mexico would take about 18 1/2 hours.
