We had the hummingbird guy come and band hummingbirds in my garden yesterday! very cool to be a part of. The first photo is the smallest bird in North America-calliope hummingbird. The second is a Black-Chinned. The last photo is how we catch them-they fly into cage and then he pulls the string and catches them. He handled them for just a few minutes, weighing them, measuring beak, wings and tail.

How did you find out about the banding? Can I have someone come here and do it for my owls? Don't forget to do some interior shots for me. As I'm reading this I am drinking a glass of Clos LaChance, Hummingbird Series Zinfindel (delicious I might add.) Look up their website, they love Hummingbirds too and it might be a nice way to celebrate the completion of your beautiful garden house.
