Hanging Out With Hummingbirds

Many people enjoy watching Ruby Throated Hummingbirds at their feeders during the birds' annual summer visit to Michigan. Have you wondered what their nest looks like, how many young they raise or what flowers attract hummingbirds? Allen Chartier, Michigan’s hummingbird expert, will answer these questions and more during an indoor "Hummingbirds of the Great Lakes" program, followed by an outdoor banding program. During banding, hummingbirds are captured and banded for science, allowing participants an up close look at these unique birds. Mr. Chartier will discuss his research compiled from banding hummingbirds for over 25 years. Meet at the Visitor Center.
