Hummingbird Banding at the San Pedro House (note date changes)

Hummingbird Banding at the San Pedro House  (note date changes)

Up to 10 species of hummingbirds use the green corridor of the San Pedro River as a freeway between their tropical winter retreats and their northern nesting grounds. The public is invited to get a close-up look at these tiny travelers as staff and volunteers from the Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory capture, band, weigh, measure, and release them as part of long-term studies of the bird life of this vital migration route.


Banding sessions will take place from 4:00-6:00pm on the following dates: Sunday, September 6, and Saturday, September 12, 19, 26. The banding station is located at the San Pedro House, 9800 E. Highway 90, east of Sierra Vista at the river.  The public is welcome to observe banding sessions at this site at no charge and without reservations, but donations are gratefully accepted. For more information, call SABO at (520) 432-1388 or visit www.sabo.org.
