Hummingbirds are some of the most loved backyard visitors in Arizona, but there’s more to them than most people realize. Join us to learn about Arizona’s hummingbirds and the role they play in the desert ecosystem. This talk covers their biology, behavior, and adaptations, along with how people can support them from home.

Whether you keep a feeder in your yard or just enjoy watching them fly by, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of these birds and what you can do to help them thrive. Led by Hilary Morejon of the International Hummingbird Society.

As part of the Desert Foothills Land Trust’s mission to connect people and nature, DFLT sponsors two Speaker Series — ongoing free lecture programs designed to connect community members with the natural and cultural heritage of their Sonoran Desert home. These lectures provide accessible educational opportunities for everyone to deepen their understanding of this unique desert ecosystem. The Foothills Speaker Series is a joint initiative of DFLT and the Holland Center. Click here to see all this season’s events in the Foothills Speaker Series.
