This past weekend a group of hummingbird banders from Seattle were here to band birds at Tom Lamb's place south of Dixie. Last year was the first time they banded hummingbirds at this location. It was a very interesting and educational experience. Here are the results of birds captured Saturday morning, Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
Rufous hummingbirds = 10 (9 new bands, 1 recaptured from last year)
Calliope hummingbirds = 30 (28 new bands, 2 recaptured from last year)
Black-chinned hummingbirds = 54 (47 new bands, 7 recaptured from last year)
Jon Lundak took photos of the banding process and you can see them on his blog http://wallawallabirding.blogspot.com/
It was a lot of fun to be able to help.
