Sedona Hummingbird Festival
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE IN AMERICA TO SEE HUMMINGBIRDS!(SM)
When: THIS YEAR'S FESTIVAL WILL BE JULY 28-30, 2017
WHERE: SEDONA PERFORMING ARTS CENTER (SPAC)
located at Sedona Red Rock High School
995 Upper Red Rock Loop Road
Sedona, AZ 86336
Presentations: 3 days of presentations by hummingbird experts from around the world
"Birds & Blooms" Hummingbird Garden Tours: Each ticket valid for two days, permitting a self-guided garden visit at your own schedule one or both days. This allows you to visit the gardens and spend as much time as desired but still see lectures on the opposite day.
Birding Trips: Birders will have the opportunity to visit different habitats, Page Springs Fish Hatchery and Oak Creeek Canyon, with others being considered; tickets are reasonably priced, but reservations are required because of extremely limited capacity. Trips are led by the Northern Arizona Audubon Society.
The Sedona Hummingbird Festival is always held around the end of July, when Sedona's hummingbird population is highest and most diverse—5 or even 6-7 species instead of the usual 2—and with typically five times the number of hummers as in early summer. Thanks to Sedona's high altitude of 4,500 feet, they escape the intense summer heat experienced in more southern parts of Arizona.
Arizona is already well known as the top state for seeing the most hummingbird species (a fact that Texas disputes, of course). People travel great distances just to see Arizona's hummers. But Sedona also has Red Rock Country, and that makes it even more desirable to come hereto see hummingbirds. Is there a prettier place in America to see hummers?
