Happy National Hummingbird Day!

Keep your eyes on the sky tonight!

August’s full moon, known as the Sturgeon Moon, is about to put on a beautiful show. Named for the sturgeon fish that Native Americans traditionally found easier to catch this time of year, this month’s moon will take on a stunning coppery glow during a partial lunar eclipse.

Look up tonight. You won’t want to miss it!
