Hummingbird Mornings #3



This weekend (Saturday and Sunday, 19-20 August), "The Original 
Hummingbird Mornings" moves to RibbonWalk, Charlotte's Botanical 
Forest, for the last of this year's series of public hummingbird 
banding programs.

Bill Hilton Jr. of Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History 
will be making presentations each day at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m.; 
admission charge is $2 per person.

Participants at "Hummingbird Mornings" will get to observe the entire 
banding process as Hilton provides non-stop information about how to 
attract hummingbirds to your own backyard. He'll have a variety of 
hummingbird feeders on display to demonstrate how to choose the best 
one for your location.

To get to RibbonWalk from Charlotte, take I-77 north to I-85 north 
and exit at Statesville Road. At the top of the ramp, turn left onto 
Statesville Road and go 0.6 miles. Turn right on Nevin Road. Go 1.2 
miles and turn left at RibbonWalk's entrance at Hoyt-Hinson Road.

Details and more information about Hummingbirds are available at the 
"Operation RubyThroat" Web site at www.rubythroat.org.


Hope to see you there! :-)


Best wishes,

BILL
