Hummingbird Month
The City of Sierra Vista is teaming up with Southwest Wings and the Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory (SABO) to support and celebrate hummingbirds throughout the month of August! Scroll down to see the events and activities we have in store!
As the official Hummingbird Capital of Arizona, Sierra Vista has as many as 15 hummingbird species that can possibly be observed here throughout the year. Some stay year-round, while others just visit during long migrations. Either way, these extraordinary avians are an important part of our local ecosystem and have drawn birders from across the globe to Sierra Vista, especially in August when the most species can be viewed here.
Learn how to offer your own events, promotional specials, and/or donation jars in August that benefit SABO's research and conservation efforts by visiting the Hummingbird Heroes webpage.
Zip into the Fun!
Throughout August, the City, Southwest Wings, and SABO are offering a variety of hummingbird-themed educational and recreational programs!
You can also search for hidden hummingbirds at the Sierra Vista Public Library throughout the month. Find all eight and learn interesting facts about each. This scavenger hunt will be available throughout August during open library hours.
