Each hummer is placed in a cloth net bag with a paper showing the exact time the bird was captured. We will not hold a bird longer than 10 minutes, but it has never been that long while I've been there. Depending on how many people are banding, it averages about 5 minutes for the whole process. Believe me, everyone has a specific job and the care of the bird is the first thing on our minds.

The bags are lined up on hooks by the time the bird was captured.
