27 May, a guy in Utopia New Brunswick Canada found a dead hummer in his garage. He noticed the band and reported it. I banded that male Ruby-throated January 24, 2016 at a home in Lakeland, FL. Distance between banding and encounter is 1700 miles almost due north.
One of the objectives of Hummingbird Research has been to find out where wintering Ruby-throated hummers in the Southeast breed. After banding over 1,000 Ruby-throated hummers in the past 20 winters, this one is the first to be found on a possible breeding location.
