Topic: Cinnamon Hummingbird


  
 World's oldest modern hummingbirds described in Science
The Cinnamon hummingbird measures about 11 cm (tip of beak to tip of tail) and is only slightly larger than the fossil.
Although hummingbirds are currently restricted to the Americas, their long-extinct Old World "look-alikes" may have helped determine the shape of some Asian and African flowers alive today.
Three of the key features that give the skeletons modern hummingbird characteristics are their tiny size, the design of the shoulder and upper arm bone, and their long beaks, which are 2.5 times larger than their craniums even though the tips of the beaks are lost.

 Hummer Notes
Nancy is also a licensed hummingbird bander and a recognized authority on hummingbird distribution, behavior, and taxonomy.
So the question of what other species might be found in each state came up on Humnet a few weeks ago and I asked for each someone from each state to give the list for his or her state and to take a stab at what the likely possibilities might be for new ones.
With 18 fully documented species, the list of possibles is slim, but Cinnamon Hummingbird has been recorded very close to the state's western border, and I think there's a Plain-capped Starthroat record pending in New Mexico.

 Rarity Records for Hummingbirds in North America
The information that can be gathered by banders is not only interesting, it is vital to our understanding of these "vagrant" hummingbirds that spend the winter in areas we previously considered inhospitable.
You can do your part by inviting a hummingbird bander licensed in your state to visit your house to capture, band, measure, and release unharmed your winter hummingbird.
For instance, Black-chinned Hummingbird is probably more rare on the Washington or Oregon coast than it is along the Gulf Coast in winter -- but my focus is more on extralimital vagrancy outside the sphere of origin, and so I don't include Washington or Oregon records (at this time) for this species.
