There are a number of reputable websites and scientific discussion
groups related to hummingbirds and hummingbird research. I have
linked to a few of these below so that researchers, birders, and others
interested in hummingbirds can easily access this information. The
Michigan HummerNet is affiliated with the first two links listed
below.
The Hummer/Bird Study
Group (HBSG) is a non-profit organization founded by Bob and Martha
Sargent of Clay, Alabama. It is dedicated to the study and preservation
of hummingbirds and other Neo-tropical migrants (songbirds).
Operation Rubythroat is a
cross-disciplinary international initiative in which people collaborate
to study behavior and distribution of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird.

nonprofit corporation (Delaware) organized in 1996 for the purpose of
encouraging international understanding and conservation of hummingbirds
