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 closeup 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 am for the best chance of seeing successful banding, the rate of captures drops as the morning goes on.
This event is free and open to the public.
