2009 Humming Bird Round-Up
As another year draws to a close

I believe after the 3rd year it's a tradition, and so went this year's Humming Bird Round-Up, Vern and Bill showed up, set the capture cages and proceeded to business while the rest of us just sat around and yakked it up.

The tally is:

2 adult males
19 adult females
12 young males and
6 young females;

The one bird that returned (an adult female) had been banded there on Sep. 6th last year) The girls took some photos so maybe they will post them

Which brings us to this article you might find of interest.

I will try to post some of the pics tomorrow. I do not know if I can get into my photo bucket account anymore...and I do not know how to do photos without putting them into it first.

Very Happy
