The Banding of the Humming Birds

 The banding of the humming birds takes place in the foothills above Indian Springs. Scientist (these ones were from Alaska) band the humming birds and record info about them (weight, size, type, ect) every year. The area is saturated with the colorful little birds! It is really cool to see and hear them buzzing around. 






They bring the birds to this table where they record all the info. When they are ready to release them, they set them in your hand. Sometimes, the birds will sit for a minute or two before taking off.
