Nancy Newfield does some of her banding
in the yards of people who have hummingbird gardens and lots of hummingbird
feeders. These pictures are from John Owen's yard. He helps Nancy with
her banding. The trap she uses for catching hummingbirds for banding
is a big bird cage with a large door and a hummingbird feeder on the
inside. The door is operated by a remote control.
