Re: Lots of Hummingbirds
CATHY & ERNEST . . .
Congratulations on having so many hummingbirds. Unfortunately, there
are very few hummingbird banders around, so your birds will probably
go unbanded.
In my case, most of my hummingbird work is focused here at Hilton
Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History (details at
http://www.rubythroat.org and http://www.hiltonpond.org ), so I
seldom go far from home in August when I try to catch and band all
the local birds I can.
Best wishes,
BILL
