That tiny Ruby-throated Hummingbird visiting your yard this summer will soon embark on an incredible journey south, crossing hundreds or even thousands of miles to reach its nonbreeding grounds.

But where exactly does it go? How does it know the way?
Join host Jordan E. Rutter and ABC experts and partners for a free webinar to follow the remarkable migration of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Bell’s Vireo, and Red Knot.
Using tools like tagging, radiotelemetry, and eBird data, researchers are uncovering where these birds go, what they need along the way, and how we can all help make their journeys safer.

Can’t make it live? RSVP and we will send you a recording:
