Project Description

This proposal requests support for training and travel costs associated with establishing a monitoring site for Rufous Hummingbirds and other North America hummingbird species near El Palmito, Sinaloa. The project will initiate partnerships that will help the Hummingbird Monitoring Network fulfill its mission and provide the skills needed for biologists and students from Sinaloa to conduct hummingbird research by using banding techniques approved by the North American Banding Council. This training will expand the skill set of Pronatura employees so scientific studies, inventories, and monitoring can be conducted to obtain more information for this unique family of birds.
