Hummingbird Banding

This event takes place in the yard of Emily and Larry Scheunemann. Extensively landscaped to attract butterflies and hummingbirds, their gardens have become a site where hummingbirds are captured, banded and released. In return for an early wakeup, participants will have a unique experience: the opportunity to see and photograph Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds close up as they are captured and banded. You may even get the chance to hold a hummingbird in your hand before it is released. Arrive promptly at 7:30 am for the best chance of seeing successful banding.
This event is free and open to the public
