Broad-tailed (left) and Black-chinned (right) Hummingbirds are two of the most abundant species to visit the West Texas cam site during breeding and migration periods. Both species have resident populations in Mexico and medium-distance migrant populations that travel north to breed in the mountainous regions of the western U.S., and some Black-chinned migrants breed as far north as British Columbia, Canada.

**********************************
  
The West Texas Hummingbird Feeder Cam is nestled in the mountains outside Fort Davis, Texas, at an elevation of over 6200 feet. This site hosts a total of 24 Perky Pet Grand Master hummingbird feeders, and during peak migration can attract hundreds of hummingbirds from a dozen species that are migrating through the arid mountains. 

For over 10 years, researchers from West Texas Avian Research have been banding hummingbirds at this site and others throughout the Trans-Pecos region of Texas to study the status and distribution of hummingbirds throughout the poorly known region. The active banding of hummingbirds continues (off camera) at this site in the Davis Mountains, and from time to time you may hear researchers working in the background. Some common species in you may hear vocalizing include Western Scrub Jays, Acorn Woodpeckers, and Canyon Wrens (among others).


Thanks to West Texas Avian Research for their enthusiasm and support for hosting the camera at this remote research site.
