The Ontario Hummingbird Project is a province-wide initiative to learn more about the life cycle of Ontario's hummingbirds. I initiated the project in 2005, and was pleased to receive information from three migration monitoring stations, one raptor watch and several individuals.
The website is now available at www.ontariohummingbirds.ca Please forward this information to anyone (birders, gardeners, nature lovers, organizations) who does not subscribe to ontbirds and might be interested in contributing to the project. Along with collecting observation information, the project also includes banding wintering hummingbirds, spring and fall migrants, and breeding hummers. If you know of a migration hotspot or a yard with high numbers of hummingbirds during the breeding season, please let the homeowner know about the project so they can contact me if they are interested in having their hummingbirds banded.
