As part of their month-long indoor and outdoor exhibit, “Pollinators on the Prairie: Little Helpers, Big Results,” the Little White School Museum will offer a special program aimed at youngster ages eight to 12 years, “All About Hummingbirds.”

The hour-long program will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 17, at the museum, 72 Polk Street (Jackson at Polk), just two blocks from historic downtown Oswego.

Can you spot a Ruby-throated Hummingbird? Do you know what they eat? Did you know they are powerful pollinators? Learn these fun facts and more as participants create their very own hummingbird feeders and nectar to attract these tiny, colorful birds to their yards.
