Humming Bird Event Coming in Brazoria County!
Xtreme Hummingbird Xtravaganza is almost here! Join us on September 12 & 19 here at our Lake Jackson headquarters for a celebration of the Ruby-throated hummingbird migration! These amazing little birds fly through our property by the hundreds, fueling up for their long journey South. You can watch our banders band them and you can even hold them and let them go!

It's hummingbird season! Time to put out your feeders!
If you feed hummingbirds, here are a few tips:
1. Don't use red dye or store-bought nectar. Any additives may have ill effects on the birds.
2. Mix 1 part granulated sugar with 3 or 4 parts hot water, and stir until completely dissolved. We're looking for clear liquid, not cloudy!
3. Keep the feeders clean. Wash them out at least once or twice a week, using dish soap (or other cleaners) and a brush. Make extra sure to rinse really well so the hummers aren't drinking soap water.
4. Hang them far apart and around corners. Territorial hummingbirds will hog as many as they can, so it helps to have them out of sight of one another.
