 ccuWeather School's out for the summer, but the fun of learning about the weather isn't over. While other camps may have been canceled, AccuWeather has many new and exciting experiments and projects planned for the summer that parents and our virtual campers can watch and do from home. So, pack your activity bags, and let’s go to AccuWeather Summer Camp!

Bird Watching: Up close view of one tiny, fascinating bird!

Do you see red bird feeders around your neighborhood? There’s no seed in these feeders, but a clear liquid. One tiny bird that beats its wings about 53 times a second and can travel across the Gulf of Mexico without stopping drinks from these feeders.

Did you know that the hummingbird seen in the video above can’t walk or hop? The Cornell University Bird Lab says that its legs are too short!

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is the only hummingbird east of the Rocky Mountains in the United States, but there are other types of hummingbirds across the world.
