SUMMARY:Sedona Hummingbird Festival
DESCRIPTION:Not to be missed\, the 10th Annual Sedona Hummingbird Festival is held at the peak of Sedona’s hummingbird season: As many as 8 species in the area\, and typically five times the number of hummers as in early summer. Located in the heart of Sedona’s red rock country\, the festival features 14 different speaker presentations on various hummingbird topics\, hummingbird garden tours\, banding demonstrations\, birding field trips\, sunrise hummingbird breakfasts\, a hummingbird marketplace filled with hummingbird-related gifts\, a photo contest\, and workshops on hummingbird photography\, painting\, and communication. This is where hummingbird enthusiasts gather together to learn the latest about hummers and celebrate the science and wonder of these amazing birds! \nThanks to Sedona’s high altitude of 4\,500 feet\, the temperature is cooler than in more southern parts of Arizona\, and lodging is lower at this time of year. Participants can also enjoy Sedona’s Red Rock Scenic Byway (7.5 miles)\, Oak Creek Canyon\, Scenic Jeep Tours\, miles of hiking trails\, mountain biking\, winemaking\, and galleries. There is no prettier place in America to see hummers. \nVisit our website for more information. \nContact\nThe International Hummingbird Society\n928-284-2251 \nView Organizer Website \nhttps://www.hummingbirdsociety.org/sedona-hummingbird-festival \nLocation\nSedona Performing Arts Center\n995 Upper Red Rock Loop Road\nSedona\, AZ 86336\nUnited States\nGet Directions from Google Maps
