Abstract

Hummingbird density and diversity were studied in relation to the number of feeders available for 8 winters (1 November to 28 February) for the years 1995 thru 2003. The study area was a rural subdivision consisting of about 50 2-acre lots bordering a creek about 30 miles inland from the central Texas Coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Hummingbirds were captured by traps or nets, banded and released as they were observed from 1995 thru 1999, and by bi-weekly mist netting in subsequent winters.
