During which part of the day are hummingbirds most active?

Hummingbirds are most active during the midday. This is primarily due to their feeding patterns and the availability of nectar from flowers during this time. Many flowering plants open their blooms and are rich in nectar when the sun is at its peak, providing hummingbirds with ample food sources. Midday also typically offers the warmest temperatures, which are conducive to the high-energy activities of hummingbirds, such as feeding and defending their territories.

While hummingbirds may engage in some activity during the morning and evening, their peak feeding times are generally concentrated around midday when food sources are most plentiful and environmental conditions are optimal for their high metabolic activity.
