== Memo to all Hummingbird enthusiast == Please join the Hummerwatch list and log your first sightings of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in the Spring and the last one you see in the Fall. Also list the number of Ruby- throated Hummingbirds at your feeders weekly. Over time, the Hummer/Bird Banding Research Collaborative hopes to compile timelines, location specific geographic movement, and population counts/fluctuations throughout Ohio, KY and IN. We also plan to monitor movements of western hummingbirds through Ohio, IN and KY to better determine timelines, track possible flight routes/patterns and determine whether or not western hummingbirds are present in larger numbers during the winter than previously thought. Log your sightings at the Hummerwatch list. http://tolford.com/mailman/listinfo/hummerwatch_tolford.com or visit HBRC website at http://www.tolford.com/birdband and go to the hummingbird mainpage.
