Hi Folks
Join Wild Birds Unlimited®, Ijams Nature Center, and the Knoxville Chapter of 
the Tennessee
Ornithological Society (KTOS) to celebrate the wonder of hummingbirds on 
Saturday, July 11,

2009, between 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM, at Ijams Nature Center, 2915 Island Home 
Avenue,

Knoxville.

Nationally known hummingbird experts Bob and Martha Sargent will be on hand to 
demonstrate

hummingbird banding and to share their knowledge about these intriguing birds. 
Attendees will

be able to watch as hummingbirds are captured, weighed and measured, banded 
around one

leg, and then sent safely on their way. The banding demonstration will start at 
6:00 PM.

During the banding demonstration, attendees will have the opportunity to 
"adopt" a

hummingbird. For ten dollars, the adoptive family will receive a certificate 
listing the band

number of their hummingbird, along with a personal picture next to their new 
feathered friend.

A silent auction will also be held to benefit the Hummer/Bird Study Group, 
Ijams Nature Center,

and KTOS. Between 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM, the public will be able to bid on various 
naturethemed

items and services. The evening's festivities will conclude with a presentation 
by Bob

Sargent about hummingbirds at 7:30 PM.

This event is FREE and open to the public, and families are encouraged to 
attend. Wild Birds

Unlimited®, Ijams Nature Center, and KTOS are all co-sponsors of the event.
