Some students involved with Operation RubyThroat will monitor and collect Meteorology data, especially during spring and fall migration of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris), to determine possible effects of weather.
Under this section we list questions about hummingbirds that are worthy of investigation, but we do not outline entire projects; in other words, the questions are intended to stimulate inquiry by students and others. Operation RubyThroat stands ready to advise student researchers about project design on an individual basis. For help on setting up your specific hummingbird research project, contact PROJECTS.
NOTE: Teachers and their student groups, individual students, and others who are registered participants with Operation RubyThroat get priority attention to all requests for information and assistance. To register, see How to Participate.
-- Plot the tracks and timing of tropical & temperate storms, especially hurricanes that may occur during prime hummingbird migration season in autumn.
-- Profile the climatological conditions on wintering grounds in the tropics and correlate them with hummingbird arrival times in North America during spring migration.
