Hey everyone I have been reading the board for a long time now, but this is my first post been reading a lot.
I had something happing to me this winter that I am very excited about and sense you all are talking about Hummingbirds I thought I would shear it with you.
My home is in Birmingham Alabama and I had the very good luck to have several Hummingbirds winter over with my wife and I.
I have documented by the Hummingbird Study Group (Mr. Bob Sargent) located in Clay, Alabama. We had at least one of the flowing birds stay with us this winter, Rufous, Allenâs, and Calliope he was not able to band these birds but was able to identify them. He was able to capture and band one Ruby-Throated Hummingbird (Immature male #5000N07534 one Jan 13, 2004) this is very rare and has never been seen before. We had a cold winter hear this bird stayed with us all winter and is steel hear I had to bring in the feeder at night because of freezing temp. At night.
I just thought some of you might like to hear about it.
