Local ornithologist, Kelly Bryan, continues collecting data on these tiny gems throughout West Texas, including those that visit the oak-juniper woodlands and mixed grass prairie of the Nature Center. In 2011, Kelly will be banding hummingbirds as part of a study on their migratory behavior. He invites anyone who is interested to come and watch as he captures, bands, and releases these amazing birds.
