Welcome to Hummingbirds Canada!
Welcome to Hummingbirds Canada!
The overarching goal of Hummingbirds Canada is to encourage and support hummingbird research and education throughout Canada. Some of our specific goals include:
- Identifying migration routes and peak migration dates
- Defining the northern limits of the breeding range
- Studying the nesting cycle
- Collecting information on nesting locations, popular estimates, reproduction rates and birds returning to the same locality each year
- Documenting spring arrival and fall departure dates
- Locating concentration points
- Documenting rare species visiting each province
Had I devoted myself to birds, their lives and plumage, I might have produced something worth doing.
