ID Class & Field Trip

Part 2 – 8:00AM February 7th, 2026 – Field Trip focused around hummingbird banding in the Lake Jackson area.

Join Gulf Coast Bird Observatory's Executive Director, Martin Hagne, for a detailed look at the hummingbirds of Texas.  This course will include a weekday evening classroom session via Zoom followed by a morning field trip where our licensed researchers will be banding birds. This unique experience will allow up-close viewing of the birds in order to practice the identification skills we learned during the Zoom sessions.  Each species account will include:

  • Identification basics with photo quizzes
  • Typical vocalizations
  • Breeding and wintering ranges, and the best local spots for each species
  • Habitat and diet information
