This hummingbird
was the
first Ruby-throated banded in Canada to be recaptured
in another country. He
was also the
recaptured Rubythroat that flew the longest distance in the shortest
time!
Carl
and Rachel are grateful to the hummer for stopping by their home on his
amazing journey south and they thank the bander in Texas who captured
and reported him.
What will the banded bird look like on his journey north this spring? Roll your mouse over the picture to
find out how young male Ruby-throats change during this first winter.
