Get the buzz on hummers
Tuesday, February 8, 2022 by Tai Moses
The next Wild Neighbors webinar explores a topic that is close to many people’s hearts: hummingbirds, the winged jewels of the avian world. Tania Homayoun, a conservation biologist with Texas Parks & Wildlife, will share her knowledge of hummingbird biology, the various species found in Central Texas and how you can attract more of these tiny, iridescent hovercrafts to your garden. (Bonus: Not only do hummingbirds pollinate flowers, they eat hundreds of insects a day, including mosquitoes!) Friday, Feb. 18, noon-1 p.m. Sign up here. If you’ve missed previous episodes of the Wild Neighbors Speaker Series or want to rewatch a favorite, they’re all archived on YouTube for your viewing pleasure.
