It's time to hummmmmmm.






Wonder of Hummingbird Festival
Saturday, August 25, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

A huge Ijams thank you to media sponsor WBIR Channel 10 and to reporter Emily Devoe who stopped by the nature center this afternoon to chat about our upcoming 8th Annual Wonder of Hummingbird Festival.

There will be birding supply, plant, craft and food vendors plus eight speakers talking about a wide range of backyard nature topics from hummingbird-loving plants, butterflies, honey bees, an ephemeral author and a lot more.

Plus, you'll get a chance to talk with and watch up-close Federally licensed hummingbird master bander Mark Armstrong and his team catch and affix numbered leg bands on hummingbirds. A truly remarkable thing to witness.
