If you live in Idaho, you may have noticed a new winter visitor in your yard \u2013 especially if you\u2019ve kept a heated hummingbird feeder up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Anna\u2019s Hummingbird is an intriguing species that IBO\u2019s Team Hummingbird has studied since 2015. We recently published two papers in the journal Western Birds titled \u201cFirst documentation of successful breeding for the Anna’s Hummingbird in Idaho<\/a>\u201d and \u201cMonitoring through community science: Anna’s Hummingbird winter range expansion into Idaho<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBO\u2019s Jessica Pollock, Heidi Ware Carlisle, and Heather Hayes co-authored these papers along with Cornell Graduate Student\/scientific illustrator<\/a> Bryce Robinson, and local community scientist Janice Engle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our paper on wintering Anna’s Hummingbirds<\/a> in Idaho shows a sharp increase in numbers over the last decade, especially in Ada County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our second note documents the first Anna’s Hummingbird nest in the state<\/a>! Will more nests follow as their numbers continue to increase?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We couldn\u2019t have done it without all the community reports from folks like YOU contacting us<\/a> about your wintering hummingbirds. Thank you team and everyone!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
