This is excerpted from a response I received on another list:
"By the way, our banding associate Mr. Mark Myers who lives over in Bothell
has been banding them this year at a couple of sites on Whidbey Island. He and
his wife Colleen are hummingbird crazy. Mark is the Curator of Birds (and
some mammals) at the Woodland Park Zoo. I think that is the correct name of the
zoo. Martha and I visited and banded with him last summer. We banded
Rufous, Calliope and Broad-tailed and Black-chinned while we were operating out of
their home. These a nice folks and were great trainees many years ago.
Mark is a longtime Master Bander and a member of our banding crew at Fort
Morgan, Alabama on our gulf coast."
Also, there is a story about Dan Harville here: http://www.pnwlocalnews.com/whidbey/swr/news/19030609.html

Hi Tweeters,
A friend in Everson has a photo of a banded hummer from there. Anybody banding them locally? Looks like a white band with black numbers.
