We’re all still smiles remembering our hummingbird banding experience with Fred Bassett. The next time I went to my parents’ house, we went outside with cameras to try to spot our pink-headed birds. We didn’t see a pink head – but we definitely saw a hummer that Fred didn’t band. He was nectaring at a penta flower. I enjoyed this little series that shows how quick and flexible these birds are!
