Howdy and Welcome to Harris County!
Cover Image: A ruby-throated hummingbird visits the tropical sage bloom for nectar. In the fall, these small birds, that weigh the equivalent of a postage stamp, gather energy from nectar-producing plants to make the journey across the Gulf of Mexico to South America. While some species migrate, others may winter over in our area from locations further north. This was discussed by Brandi Keller during the "Attracting the Right Wildlife to Your Garden" talk of the Home Grown Lecture Series, page 17.
