Replay of “Hummingbirds: From Your Yard to Central America… and Back”

For those who missed the latest Seabrook Island Birders Zoom program or for any participant who would like to rewatch a great presentation, we are offering a replay for the next 30 days. On December 2^nd Dr. Bill Hilton, Jr. presented “Hummingbirds: From Your Yard to Central America…and Back!”

The program highlighted Dr. Hilton’s ongoing international research on the Ruby-throated Hummingbird and his continuing ornithological work at his Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History in York, SC. You can visit its website, hiltonpond.org, to learn about the center or read one of his over 700 blogs on natural history and what’s happening at Hilton Pond. 

Dr. Hilton, a teacher for 40+ years, educated 83 participants from 13 U.S. States and 1 from Canada.   He urged everyone who lived on Seabrook Island and the states with warmer climates to keep their hummingbird feeders up year round for the birds migrating through and for those hummingbirds overwintering here. Additionally, he asked anyone who sees a hummingbird (especially the banded or with a color mark on their chest) to become a citizen scientist and report their sighting through eBird or his website rubythroat.org.
