[Pollinator] Hilton Pond 08/01/14 (Truth About Ruby-throats)

[Bill Hilton Jr. (RESEARCH)]

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds may be the most common and best understood of all hummer species, but misinformation about these tiny birds always seems to float around. "This Week at Hilton Pond" I offer a photo essay to clear up incorrect information I've read lately about ruby-throat behavior and morphology. To view this latest "fact-checking" installment for 1-15 August 2014, please visit http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek140801.html

While there don't forget to scroll down for miscellaneous nature notes and a list of all birds banded and recaptured during the period, plus info about banding hummers in the Neotropics.

Happy Hummingbird Watching!

BILL
