Those occurring in the northernmost areas of their range are migratory, heading south for the winter. They may occasionally travel east to Texas and Louisiana. ![]() The Broad-billed Hummingbirds breed in the southwestern United States (California, Arizona and extreme southwestern New Mexico) down south to southwestern Mexico.
