Hummingbird Banding in Carr Canyon Oct 2

SABO members are invited to visit our most recent study site, where we compare the nesting and migration schedules of hummingbirds in the Huachuca Mountains to those on the San Pedro River. Capture rates and species diversity can vary dramatically through the season, but up to 30 birds of 7 species may be banded in a 2-hour session.

Banding sessions take place from 4 to 6 p.m. on a weekly to biweekly schedule. Sessions are open to only SABO members. This activity is free, but registration is required and limited to 6 visitors per session. "Adoptions" of banded birds support this research project; for more information on adopting a hummingbird, please visit the adoptions page.
