As always, please report your observations to Dr. Erik Johnson at Erik.Johnson AT audubon.org with the following information:

• Your name
• Your city/town
• First observed (FO) date (or, if discovered while banding or marking other birds, the date it was observed)
• Species - please send photos, if available, for confirmation
• Age (Adult, immature, unknown)
• Sex (Male, female, unknown)

• Whether banded, when and by whom
  If additional information is learned through further observation or banding, please report those updates and I'll make the changes. Also, please report the last observed (LO) date, if possible, when the bird leaves. This you can do more easily when the hummer has been banded and marked.
  Observations of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are requested if you see the bird after November 15.
