when do hummingbirds return to ohio

Hummingbirds, particularly Ruby-throated hummingbirds, begin returning to Ohio in the spring. They typically start arriving in the southern half of Ohio between April 1 and April 15, and the northern half of the state sees their arrival from April 15 to April 30. This timing can vary slightly with weather conditions and climate changes but generally falls within this April timeframe. By the end of April, their migration into Ohio is usually complete. These hummingbirds stay through the summer and usually depart around August or September to head back south to Mexico or Central America for the winter.
