International Hummingbird Society
The Rufous Hummingbird (shown above) weighs about a nickel, flies about 8,000 miles annually and visits Sedona every July. These are just a few facts shared by Hummingbird Festival leader Alice Madar. The Society was established in Sedona in 2006 and reaches throughout the Americas to teach and protect the 370 Hummingbird species. A full program highlighting all aspects of Hummingbird life is featured at the annual Sedona Hummingbird Festival, July 26-28. All are encouraged to join the Hummingbird Society and enjoy the Festival. Contact SedonaHummingbirdFestival.com for full information.
