Yep,folks...you can do just that! We have a Hummerfest the first weekend of August in the Land Between The Lakes.
Researchers come to the Nature Station there to band and record the hummers. Bob Sargent (high guru of everything hummer)comes and gives lectures. The researchers catch and band the hummers...they're as thick as bees! And you can 'adopt' one and they will let you release it.
A hummer's heart beats about 250 times a minute,so it sorta buzzes in your hand while it lays there.You get your picture taken with your hummer and a certificate with it's band #.That way you can check and see if it is ever caught again and the band read.
Photography is incouraged and there are experts with slide shows of hummer gardens.
It costs 3.50 to get in and the lectures are only 1.00(but you have to reserve a spot in advance as these fill quickly)
Hummer adoption is 10.00,but all proceeds go to research.
If anyone is interested,we could have a little DG Field Trip.
We are in West KY's Lakes area ..just a couple hours north of Nashville,3 hours south of St.Louis and 3 hours west of Louisville.
If anyone is interested...we'll start making plans...otherwise,I'll post photos!
