CLEAR LAKE STATE PARK – “Hooked on Hummingbirds,” a spectacular 53-minute video by Thomas Kaminski, will be shown in the Clear Lake State Park Visitor Center auditorium at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, May 30.

See 20 species of hummingbirds in one afternoon. See them in slow motion, stop motion and real time. Spectacular! It is a great film for all ages.

Witness courtship flights, nest building and feeding. Hummingbirds are extraordinary aerialists, unmatched for their brilliance and agility. This program will provide a real “up close” adventure with these spirits of the bird world.

A rufous hummingbird is preserved in the visitor center’s natural history museum. This feisty hummer passes through Lake County each spring and fall on its long migration from Mexico to southern Alaska and back. Black-chinned, Anna’s, Costa’s, Calliope, Rufous, and Allen’s appear on the Birds of Lake County Seasonal Checklist.

The gift shop is stocked with great gift giving ideas. All purchases and donations support the work of the Clear Lake State Park Interpretive Association in assisting the parks department in providing environmental and cultural interpretation to the community.

There is no entrance fee to the park to attend programs, participate in walks or visit the museum. The Visitor Center will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday throughout the summer. Guided walks take place on the second and fourth Sunday at 8:30 a.m.
