Fred has banded over 30,000 hummingbirds from Florida to Alaska. Ruby throated hummingbirds are the most common hummingbirds found in our area.  Plants and a feeder will attract the birds to your yard. For a list of hummingbird friendly plants: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hummingbirdresearch.net\/files\/HummingbirdPlants.pdf\">http:\/\/www.hummingbirdresearch.net\/files\/HummingbirdPlants.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fred discussed many types of hummingbirds and their normal range. At this time of year it is good to leave feeders out for those birds traveling through. There have been eleven different kinds found in central and south Alabama during the winter.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four more 2019 Master Gardener class members have completed requirements for certification and were presented their badge and certificate. Congratulations to Joan Barber, Benita Cahalane, Clem Clapp and May Cremer-Stewart!
