11th Annual CO Pollinator Summit scheduled for November 19–20, 2026.

"A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as  possible in a specific area over a short period of time. At a BioBlitz,  scientists, families, students, teachers, and other community members  work together to get a snapshot of an area’s biodiversity. These  events can happen in most any geography—urban, rural, or  suburban—in areas as small as a backyard or as large as a country.

Smartphone technologies and apps such as iNaturalist make collecting photographs and biological information about living  things easy as part of a BioBlitz. High quality data uploaded to  iNaturalist become part of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, an open source database used by scientists and policy makers around the world."

"Hummingbirds (family Trochilidae) are amazingly adapted pollinators, and  they play an important role in pollination. 

They have long, slender  bills and tube-like tongues that they use to drink nectar from  brightly-colored flowers; this gives them the energy they need to fuel  their high metabolism.

To attract them, you can either plant a  hummingbird garden or hang a hummingbird feeder. In your garden, choose  native flowers with a tube shape. Hummingbirds are not attracted by  smell, so chose plants with brightly-colored flowers."
