VA-Birders:
A bander with the Alabama-based Hummingbird
Study Group, that captures and bands hummingbirds
in 19 states, caught and banded a Rufous
Hummingbird in Washington County, VA today (11/23).
The bird was a hatching year (immature) female.
It had been present since August!
Chris Sloan of Nashville was in the region and
captured three other Rufous hummers in nearby
Northeast Tennessee. A fourth bird near the
North Carolina border was not present and could
not be taken.
Sloan left Bristol enroute to Danville, Kentucky
this evening following a very successful
hummingbird banding day that nearly tied his all-time
record for hummers banded in a single day. He
banded four Rufous hummers.
Let's go bridning.....
