Each summer, we are fortuname to have hummingbird expert Susan Campbell visit with us. She is the only person licensed in NC to band hummingbirds for life and flight research. Susan offers participants a rare glance into the life of these amazing little creatures and has a multitude of tips and advice for attracting and feeding. There is no charge for this event. The date for her visit this year will be posted when confirmed.
