How long can a wild hummingbird live? Banding records show a Broad-tailed at least 12 years 2 months old, a Black-chinned at least 12 years 1 month and a Ruby-throated at least 11 years 1 month. Each would have made the migration many times.

Beautiful autumnal day at our rearranged ringing demo
at Ness Botanic Gardens in conjunction with Merseyside Ringing Group . Lots of smiling faces and highlight was undoubtedly the number of Greenfinches ringed. 16 in total out of a total of 70 ish birds processed. #birdbanding #birdringing

This is my daughter's photo that she took when birdbanding. It is a yellow-shafted northern flicker. So cool to see all the yellow in its wings. Only get a glimpse when flying.

Banding along the Truckee River, back in August 2023, we captured this Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and weighed it in this "bird tube," appropriately sized for their safety and ease of measurement.

Taught my undergrad ornithology class about #BirdBanding & moult this week. Many had never seen birds up close before. Makes the ethics & pedagogical merit process feel worth it 😅

No waders… no problem! Breaking down the banding station after our workshop in August 2023. The Truckee River was running high due to snowmelt then.
