Our Hummingbird Gardens Tour offers six unique gardens for you to visit.

In fact, all of these gardens have been registered by the International Hummingbird Society as Certified Hummingbird Havens!

The Calliope hummingbird is the smallest breeding hummingbird in North America, weighing around 2.5 g, the weight of a US penny. When perched, their wings are longer than their tail. Males are easily recognizable by their dark rose-red gorget feathers that are arranged in long lines that extend down the throat, and sides of the neck. All other hummers are larger and have longer bills than the Calliope, except for the Bumblebee Hummingbird.

Every year since its founding in 2012, the Sedona Hummingbird Festival has featured hummingbird banding demonstrations led by a team of licensed master hummingbird banders. This is your opportunity to see hummingbirds up close and possibly hold a hummingbird in your hand as it prepares to fly away after it has been banded.

Hummingbird banding is a research effort designed to track and monitor the health and movement of hummingbirds. Hummingbirds are carefully caught and fitted with a uniquely numbered band around the leg. The band is very light and tiny, weighing about six ten-thousandths of a gram! The birds are also physically examined, measured, and released unharmed.

The data collected is submitted to the US Geological Survey Bird Banding Laboratory and the Arizona Game and Fish Department. This data is a permanent record available to other researchers. Whenever a bird is re-encountered it can provide researchers information about population trends, local movements, migration, and longevity.

The Anna’s Hummingbirds are more heavy-bodied hummers, and may appear a bit chunky when perched. Both the crown and the gorget or Male Anna’s flash iridescent rose pink when lit by the sun. The female Anna’s may also have gorget coloration around the center of their throat, appearing to make them look “dirty”. While some birds may be resident in southern areas, most migrate from the northern coastal regions to southern Arizona and northern New Mexico in the winter.

The Broad-billed hummingbird is a small, blue-green bird, with a long necks, and a red bill. There are no hummingbirds similar to the males, but the female Broad-bills are often mistaken for White-eared Hummingbirds. The males come north into Arizona in early to mid-March, and are later joined by the females late April. This incredible bird can be found in southeastern Arizona, and the extreme southwest of New Mexico in North America.

A hummingbird's shimmering iridescent throat feathers are called its "gorget". The term originates from the middle ages long ago when knights wore a metallic collar, or gorget, to protect their throats. I guess you can call these guys knights in “shining” armor 😉.
