Thank you to everyone who came out for our 30th annual Hummingbird Festival! We had a great weekend, and banded over 200 hummingbirds along the way.

Thanks to all our vendors, speakers, volunteers, and staff for helping make this event possible.

Missed the festival? We will be celebrating hummingbirds all month long! August is a great month to visit to see the hummingbirds as they prepare to migrate south. The hummingbirds tend to be most active in the morning or when it is cloudy/sprinkling.
