The 2019 Hummingbird Banding Report is now finished and has been posted. To see this report, click on the Bird Banding Reports link at the top of this page, and scroll down a little bit to view get a PDF file of the report.
Also, a complete annotated species list of birds seen on the 2018 Peru birding trip has been added to the Trip Reports page. Click the link above and scroll down to the link. Sorry, no photos on this one, just 36 pages of bird sightings.
And finally, I have added a "widget" that is supposed to show my recent additions to my iNaturalist postings. I have copied the HTML provided, so cannot guarantee it will work as expected. It is in the right-hand column of this page; just scroll down a bit until you see iNaturalist.

I recall hearing a report back in the 1960’s that early arrivals had been seen in northern Wisconsin following sapsuckers around to drink from
Holes drilled in trees; can you confirm this information ?

Joel,
Yes, this behavior has been documented for Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, but I do not believe it is common at the latitudes of the Great Lakes. In general, sapsuckers migrate almost a month earlier through here than the hummingbirds do. Their timing overlaps more in the southern states, and of course the two species overlap in their breeding ranges so it has been observed during summer as well. But I am skeptical that this alone would be a significant help to early migrating hummingbirds.
