[nysbirds-l] Hummingbird Help
NY Birders I have been contacted by a British natural history production company working on a project for National Geographic involving hummingbirds. They are interested in two things that someone out there may be able to help with. I know it is already rather late to be thinking of filming Ruby-throated Hummingbird nest building but if anyone has an active nest that is easily observed this would be helpful. 1. To ascertain whether there is anywhere within a few hours travel of New York where our hosts could go and be guaranteed to see hummingbirds in action. Ideally this would be somewhere that has a humming bird nest, as well as easily observable hummingbirds feeding. 2. To tap into a network, forum or other of amateur naturalists / hummingbird enthusiasts who may have filmed (or at least observed) the nest building process and be willing to share their knowledge / footage with us. Please contact me off list if you can help.
