A couple weekends ago we went to the Hummingbird Festival at Reedy Creek Nature Center. It was pretty neat but we only saw one hummingbird. I thought that there would be more but we did get to see one that was banded and then released. They didn't throw the bird up (like you see in movies) and let it fly away, rather, she just opened her hand and let the bird sit in her palm until he was ready to fly away (or, realized that he was free to fly away!).
We did get to see some "predators of hummingbirds" - tarantulas, frogs, snakes.....Oliver was fascinated by the tarantulas :) We finished off our little outing by letting the kid run around on the playground.....
