Hummingbirds

My wife, Jean, my sister, Linda, and I went to the Nature Center, at LBL, Saturday, and saw all things hummingbird. We saw over two hundred birds, watched one get banded and learned a lot about the little fellas.We learned that a nickel weighs more than two adult male hummers. We learned that they fly to the coast and begin eating insects. These insects provide them with stored fat for their 500 mile journey across the ocean. We also learned that they return to the same place, both spring and fall, every year.All in all it was a very interesting, and a very enjoyable day trip, and one we would highly recommend.
