🪶Happy National Hummingbird Day!🪶
Here are 5 ways to celebrate hummingbirds:
1. Consider adding hummingbird feeders to your backyard
->use a 1:4 sugar to water ratio (no other additives), or a certified hummingbird mix
2. Add native, tubular-shaped plants like coral honeysuckle, bee balm, and blazing star
3. Take pictures of hummingbirds
4. Add a bird bath near a watering spicket when possible
5. Learn more about hummingbirds using resources such as iNaturalist to see which hummers migrate to or from your area!
This morning, we celebrated the day during our Learn to Draw Birds program. Attendees learned how to draw the Ruby-throated Hummingbird along with other bird species. Here are a few of the beautiful drawings.
We offer quarterly drawing classes that are free to attend. Our next class will take place in the late fall. Stay tuned if you are interested in attending future programs!
