hummingbirds festival

 
On Saturday, August 23, learn all about ruby-throated hummingbirds at Ijams Nature Center. Learn more about the fascinating lives of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and see them up-close at the banding table. Mark Armstrong, a certified Master Bander of both hummingbirds and songbird species, will demonstrate how hummingbirds are harmlessly captured, weighed and measured, and banded before being released to continue their migration journey. Witness the delicate process of applying a numbered band to a hummer’s tiny leg so that its future migration movements can be tracked.

Featured are renowned speakers on nature topics, live animal demonstrations, guided nature walks and vendors selling food and drinks, locally made arts and crafts, bird feeders and supplies, garden items, and a “Bargain Barn” selling gently used books and other merchandise with nature-related themes. The Wonder of Hummingbirds Festival will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and has an admission of $5.00. Children under six are admitted free. Hummingbird banding will begin at 8:00 a.m. and last until 2:00 p.m.

Ijams Nature Center is located at 2915 Island Home Ave.
