I need to correct something that Darlene posted. I have absolutely nothing to do with the website mapping hummingbird arrivals in the eastern U.S. If you go to the link she provided, you will find out about the fine work done by Lanny Chambers, a hummingbird bander in Missouri, but will find nothing about me.
