Hummingbird Weekend
Woodlands Nature Station in Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National
Recreation Area August 7-8, 2005
If you like hummingbirds, even a little bit, we have the event for
you! Aug. is prime time for hummingbird migration in this area, and a
large number of these "ruby gems" stop at the Nature Station on their
long journey south. Bill Hilton, Jr. of Operation Rubythroat will
give up-close demonstrations of hummingbird banding and talk about
their behavior and migration. During the day, learn tips and
techniques for gardening for hummingbirds and setting up feeding
stations; explore hummingbird biology; and enjoy crafts and games for
the kids.
