Just in time for fall migration in the Brazos Valley, this presentation will focus on the hummingbirds that have been documented in a five county area centering on Brazos County and another small group of hummingbirds that are possible based on documented occurrence nearby or on habitat features that are present. Also, Mr. Klym will discuss season, habitat features and the probability of overwintering for each species.
