Hummingbirds: From your yard to Costa Rica---And BACK!

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, Archilochus colubris, breed from Florida north to Nova Scotia, across southern Canada almost to Alaska, and in the continental United States east of the Rockies. They overwinter in Central America as far south as the Panama Canal.

During this entertaining and informative program hummingbird expert and educator-naturalist Bill Hilton Jr. of Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History in York SC explores the amazing natural history of these tiny feathered dynamos. Hilton's highly acclaimed presentation incorporates beautiful color slides that illustrate hummingbird behavior and ecology and help answer some hummingbird mysteries. Included is a discussion of hummingbird banding and what Hilton's 25-plus years of research in the U.S. and Costa Rica have taught him about how we can attract and protect hummingbirds both in North America and the tropics.
