Notably, HMN had focused its efforts on science-based monitoring and studying of hummingbird populations to obtain important information supporting the conservation of these magnificent creatures. However, to better realize our mission of "Maintaining hummingbird diversity and abundance throughout the Americas," we needed to integrate community-based conservation ideas into HMN's science-based beginning. We endeavor to offer services, resources, and opportunities to help communities across the hemisphere participate in and benefit from hummingbird conservation activities. Our vision is " Helping hummingbirds survive, reproduce, and thrive while human communities benefit economically, socially, and ecologically from their hummingbird conservation activities." RESEARCH AND CONSERVATION: Dr. Sergio Diaz-Infante and Dra. Elsa Figueroa continued the research studying hummingbird/plant interactions and investigating conservation needs for a threatened hummingbird species in Nayarit. We completed work at a high-elevation and mid-elevation study site to understand how hummingbirds and their nectar plants vary across an elevational gradient. We continued working with the El Cuarenteño community with STEAM activities for primary - high school students and collecting seeds for future restoration efforts. 4276 18833 MONITORING: Trend monitoring continues at sites in BC, UT, CO, NM, AZ, MT, and ID. We offered a a short course to learn hummingbird banding and monitoring techniques. We also began a partnership with Limn Research to continue offering high precision tools for hummingbird and all bird research activities. This year, Rafe Copeland, the founder of Limn Research, worked with us to design and develop the next series of tools needed to continue expanding the monitoring programs. 0 23493 In partnership with Assistant Media Group, we continued online outreach that informs, markets, and fundraises with online services, social media, websites, and digital libraries. We continued to develop conservation crafts in the Nayarit communities. 0 8000 50326 Susan Wethington Executive Director 40 0 Victoria Arellano-Pappas President / Secretary 8 0 Tom Furgason Treasurer 8 0 Jeff Buchanan Board Member 4 0 Tom Kaminski Board Member 1 0 Michael Pappas Legal Counsel 4 0 David Inouye Board Member 2 0 Bo Dalsgaard Board Member 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Susan Wethington PO BOX 115 333 Harshaw Creek Rd PATAGONIA AZ 85624 5203496033 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 11483 12158 10179 32697 17122 83639 11483 12158 10179 32697 17122 83639 83639 4388 4388 0 0 4759 259 242 2876 701 8837 96864 0.86347 0.79786 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 The additional income is interest paid by Wells Fargo and Fidelity Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Other income is the bank interest RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 The other expenses includes materials and supplies needed for the research and monitoring activities ($870.00) and the travel expenses associated with running the monitoring programs ($8,631.00).
