Color-marked female Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Archilochus colubris

From 27 July 1984 through 2004, a total of 3,020 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, Archilochus colubris have been banded and color-marked at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History near York, South Carolina, USA. These birds have provided interesting and scientifically important information about Ruby-throated Hummingbird natural history.

For details about hummingbird banding at Hilton Pond Center, refer to the Operation RubyThroat website by clicking on the logo below.


In November 2005 (and possibly February 2006), we will expand our research to include studies of Ruby-throated Hummingbird behavior on their wintering grounds in Costa Rica. Teachers and other adults are invited to join these mid-winter expeditions to the Guanacaste Province.
