Fred Bassett made his annual Jan pass through central Fl and banded a few hummers.
Made severl stops and found several Ruby throated to add to his winter banding totals. He indicated that numbers were lower than last year which was a record year for him.
Had 1 in Valrico and 7 here in Lakeland (all Ruby-throated), seems that the Rufous in various yards would not co-operate and enter his traps.
Next year, if you have hummers please send him an e-mail at fhound@aol.com and maybe he will stop by your home and make your day. It's always nice to have an expert share his expertice with you!
