Hope to see you all there!

Beth Kingsley Hawkins, Executive Director of The International Hummingbird Society, receives a generous donation from Luke Bernard, Director of Sales and Marketing for Page Springs Cellars as the last bottle of their 2020 specialty hummingbird wine was sold.

Page Springs Cellars owns Colibri Vineyard in Portal, AZ in the southeastern part of the state, where fifteen different hummingbird species have been recorded. Colibri is Spanish for hummingbird, so it was especially appropriate to have a collaboration with the Non-profit Hummingbird Society to further its mission.

The red wild ferment Mourvèdre wine was created to honor the passing of Dr. H. Ross Hawkins, who founded the Society in 1996. The donation from the wine sales will help greatly to further the dual mission of the Society: First, ‘Conservation’- helping with habitat restoration and land acquisition for the spectacular and critically-endangered Marvelous Spatuletail of Peru in partnership with the American Bird Conservancy, and second, ‘Education’-holding our 9^th three-day festival July 28 –30, 2023 at the Sedona Performing Arts Center. Renowned wildlife artist, Sri Lankan-American Gamini Ratnavira depicted our year-round resident, the Anna’s hummingbird, on the label. He will be sharing his art and demonstrating how he paints a hummingbird at the upcoming Sedona Hummingbird Festival.

The event includes three days of expert talks on hummingbirds and a free Hummingbird Marketplace with stunning original hummingbird art and a celebration of guitar music, face painting, food trucks, birding trips and live raptors and Pash Galbavy as Happy the Hummingbird Spirit who will help anchor attendees’ dream wishes.

Tickets go on sale May 1, for more information, go to www.hummingbirdsociety.org or call the Society whose headquarters are located in the Village of Oak Creek, Sedona (928 284 2251) or

It's that exciting time of year when spring is in the air... flowers are blooming... and hummingbirds are migrating back from Mexico! The Ruby-throats are migrating in the east, and the Black-chinned are returning in the west. Have you seen any? If so, be sure to track your sighting on Hummingbird Central. This will help others see the different variety of hummingbirds as they make their journey!

We are happy to share with you the back of our new calendar! We are so thrilled with how it turned out. We still have 14 calendar spaces available! For a contribution of $250, dedicated spaces are available for loved ones, in memory, in honor of someone, kudos to the society, or a tribute to your favorite hummingbird. If you are interested in having a spot in our next calendar, please email us at: [email protected]

Calendar will be available at our 2023 Sedona Hummingbird Festival!

The two babies that built their nest outside of the Hummingbird Society have successfully flown the coop! We are so thrilled that they are healthy and exploring the world on their own. Looking out the window two weeks later, Beth had a surprise. One baby returned and actually sat in the nest again for a few moments - a first and so sweet!
