Be a local tourist and visit the hummingbirds

Hummingbird banding season will end in early October and if you’ve never witnessed hummingbird banding, don’t miss it! Once you’ve been to a session and been amazed by the beauty of the birds, you’ll return for many more banding opportunities, bringing along family and friends.

The banding season is from late March through early October, with the greatest number migrating through our area in April/May and August.
