The Feliciana Nature Society will hold their annual Feliciana Hummingbird Celebration on  Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016, at St. Francisville, Louisiana.  The Feliciana Hummingbird Celebration promotes the unique breeding habitat found in the St. Francisville area.  The event offers an opportunity to observe hummingbirds up close as they are banded at two private homes in the St. Francisville area on Saturday.
