Hummingbirds fascinate humans for a variety of reasons. The way these tiny birds hover at feeders and dart back and forth makes them a favorite of many people.
People interested in learning more about these birds that charm and captivate us should sign up for the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) virtual program “Birds: Hummingbirds.” This free virtual program, which is being put on by the staff of MDC’s Twin Pines Conservation Education Center, will be Sept. 27 from 1-2 p.m. At this program, MDC Naturalist Wendy Lott will describe these birds’ interesting life cycles and how people can attract them to their yards. She will also discuss why this time of year is a good time to see hummingbirds because large numbers are migrating through this area. This program will not be recorded. People can register for this program at:
