Hummingbird Banding DATA in IDAHO

Hummingbirds banded in Idaho directly under the master banding permits of Stacy J. Peterson (including subpermittees) and Fred Bassett (Alabama). Interpretation of these data should consider wide variance in banding effort (number of days banded, different locales, various number of banders) between years -- the numbers are offered here in this format just for your information...

BCHU = Black-chinned Hummingbird
CAHU = Calliope Hummingbird
RUHU = Rufous Hummingbird
BTLH = Broad-tailed Hummingbird
ANHU = Anna's Hummingbird		 AHY = After Hatch Year (adult -- hatched the previous year or before)
HY = Hatch Year (immature -- hatched the current year)
F = Female
M = Male
U = Undetermined

2005 -- Included Banders: Stacy Jon Peterson (Idaho), Terry & Peggy Peterson (Idaho), and Greg Wardwell (Idaho)....
Stacy moved to Alaska in the early summer. Scheduling conflicts further restricted banding for the rest of our team this year. Next year...!

2004 -- Included Banders: Stacy Jon Peterson (Idaho), Terry & Peggy Peterson (Idaho), and Dave Patton (licensed humbander/guest; Louisiana)....
These data do not include a vagrant Broad-billed Hummingbird banded in May or a Ruby-throated Hummingbird banded in September or a Costa's Hummingbird banded in November -- all first state records -- nor does it include hummingbirds banded by Fred Bassett or another trainee. Once those records are available (at the end of the year), we'll incorporate them into this tally...
