We all recognize the tiny, dazzling hummingbird—but these birds are far more than just cute. Hummingbirds are extraordinary travelers, migrating thousands of miles across North America while facing intense challenges such as predation, habitat loss, and a rapidly changing environment. In this talk, we will explore what makes hummingbirds so special and different from other birds: their remarkable abilities, their unique biology, and the reasons they have been recognized as powerful spiritual symbols across cultures.
You can make a difference in a hummingbird’s survival. Join us to learn how to help these incredible birds—and reconnect with and care for the nature around you.
Join the Klamath Bird Observatory and local artist Gatore for an afternoon of creativity and conservation. KBO will share key highlights from the 2025 State of the Birds report, which shows that one‑third of U.S. bird species now face steep declines and urgent conservation needs. After the overview, Gatore Mukarhinda will lead a hands‑on upcycling activity using past State of the Birds reports—transforming powerful photography into meaningful art.
