An unusual event gets under way today in the two small Texas towns of Rockport and Fulton — the annual Hummingbird Celebration. Some 6,000 people will celebrate the spectacular fall migration of ruby-throated hummingbirds from their northern nesting grounds to winter locations in Mexico and Central America, including their 500 mile flight over the Gulf of Mexico. One activity is capturing and banding hummingbirds to track their movements. Nearly 14 million people across the U.S. enjoy bird watching each year. More than 30 million others get out their cameras to photograph birds and other wildlife, both at home and on trips.
