After waking up early and making the drive up the Santa Catalina Mountains Alison, Erin, Lance and I spent a great morning at the getting a close up view of Hummingbirds at a Hummingbird Monitoring Network Banding/Monitoring Session at the Mount Lemmon Observatory. These sessions are an amazing opportunity to learn about, observe and maybe even hold a hummingbird!
