MAKANDA, IL – Have you noticed different birds at your feeders? Although ruby-throated hummingbirds are expected

Illinois. Did you know that there are citizen science projects looking for your observations on these magnificent creatures?
Join Horticulture Educator Kim Rohling to learn about the natural history of the ruby-throated hummingbird, tips on
supplemental feeding, and native plant species that are attractive to hummingbirds.
