Well who knew--a hummingbird festival in Minnesota? We may only have one species of hummer in this state but the town of Henderson, MN is gonna make the most of it by hosting the Henderson Hummingbird Hurrah August 27 -28, 2010. The festival features workshops on how to attract hummingbirds, how to photograph them, a vender area and of great interest to me--hummingbird banding! It's not too far out of the Twin Cities and a fun way to spend time in late August (a great time to watch ruby-throated hummingbirds in this state--right smack in the middle of migration, so though it's only one species, there will be tons of them.
