Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in Costa Rica
Nearly all Ruby-throated Hummingbirds that breed in the U.S. and Canada depart for Mexico and Central America each fall, but they've not been well-studied on their wintering grounds.
We've just returned from Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, where we banded an unprecedented number of ruby-throats through through Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History and "Operation RubyThroat: The Hummingbird Project."
For a summary of our observations and hummingbird banding work in Costa Rica, please visit "This Week at Hilton Pond" for 2-21 February 2006 at http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek060208.html
I'm happy to respond to your questions or comments via BirdForum.
Happy (Tropical) Nature Watching!
