Who doesn’t love a hummingbird? Their flight appears to defy the laws of physics, their iridescent feathers resemble precious gems, and they seem to survive on nothing but flower nectar. But there is more to the story! Attend this presentation to learn about our Pacific Northwest hummingbirds as well as other North and South American species. You’ll come away with an even greater appreciation for these tiny birds plus tips on how to invite them to your own garden.
