Description
After flying thousands of miles, the hummingbirds are almost home. It is hard not to be excited knowing that our hummingbirds will soon be in our East Tennessee yards! The tiny avian wonders have already been reported along the Gulf Coast and halfway into Alabama and Georgia. There are over 330 hummingbird species in the Americas but the Ruby-throated is the only species to nest with us in East Tennessee after a long migration of thousands of miles from Central America.
Join the UT Arboretum Society via Zoom on Thursday, April 9, 7pm EDT as Michelle Campanis, education coordinator at the University of Tennessee Arboretum, and naturalist/author Stephen Lyn Bales give us an overview of our beloved hummingbirds. Watch the virtual presentation from the comfort of your own home and learn when our hummingbirds will be back and why they need much more than sugar water in your feeders!
The class is free, but you must register to receive the Zoom link and recording to watch at your own convenience. If you are unable to watch at the scheduled time, the program will be recorded and sent to everyone who registers. Closed captions are available. For questions or registration issues contact Michelle at mcampani@utk.edu.
This First Thursday Nature Supper Club presentation is co-sponsored by the UT Arboretum Society (UTAS) and the American Museum of Science and Energy (AMSE) as part of their ongoing Citizen Science Birding Program.
