Who To Contact If You Have A Wintering Hummingbird

HSBG Bird Banders

Listed below is contact information for HBSG affiliated banders. We ask that you contact one of them to report a wintering hummer in your yard or neighborhood. The magic cutoff date for lingering Ruby-throated Hummingbirds is November 15th. In some instances a few Ruby-throated may linger past this date, but the chances of that occurring are quite small. The first of the adult male Rufous hummingbirds can appear in the eastern United States as early as mid to late July. Any hummer in your yard with a brown back is a male Rufous. Please report any very large or all green hummers to the nearest bander, or to Bob Sargent who will contact you and discuss what is possible in your area.
Thanks. Bob Sargent
