Recommended Hummingbird Links

[Steve Backes]

Please share your favorite "hummingbird" Websites.


Here are a few of mine (for obvious reasons).

In Janaury of 2009 on a day Fred Bassett was in my yard to band hummingbirds, I was also visited by a Tampa Tribune Reporter and a photojournalist, Yvette Hammett and Jim Reed.

The follwing 3 articles appeared in the Tampa Tribune, the first two on January 26th and the 3rd on appeared in the Brandon News on February 4th.

These are other hummingbird related websites that I've created over the past seven years.

The first one was my first attempt to collect data. Too many things happened in my life that prevented me from following up with this plan but it did result in a lot of people contacting me for information thus allowing for at least a small amount of success with my intended goal of improving communication:
rowdy13.tripod.com/floridahummers/home.html

A page that is linked to that page is a post to Humnet by Dennis Demcheck that tells the story of 25 years of wintering hummingbird numbers on the Baton Rouge CBCs. It's interesting to see how the collection of data with improved communication has resulted in a great increase in winter hummingbird reports in an area that seems much less hospitable to wintering hummingbirds:

My current hummingbird WebPage has been based around a blog of the hummingbird activity in my yard. I have an open invitation to visitors to my yard when hummingbirds are present. The blog lets potential visitors know what to expect. I also post results of the banding sessions in my yard:
