DWR: See Hummingbirds Up Close At Northeastern Utah Event
Hummingbirds are currently migrating through Utah making it a great time to catch a glimpse of these incredible birds. The DWR is partnering with retired Bureau of Land Management Biologist Terry Tolbert and U.S. Forest Service Biologist Lisa Young to host a hummingbird banding demonstration on Saturday, August 3rd from 7 to 11am. The free event will be held at the Red Canyon Lodge at 2450 Red Canyon Road in Dutch John. “It’s a rare and unique opportunity to see Utah’s tiniest pollinating birds in hand, while watching biologists gather baseline data to determine strategies for conserving these birds, their habitat and future research needs,” shares DWR Northeastern Region Outreach Manager Tonya Kieffer-Selby. “The population status of many hummingbird species is unknown. These banding efforts help educate our local community, and also help us collect information that may be crucial for making future conservation and management decisions.” Space is limited so participants are asked to sign up in advance on Eventbrite.
