I'm at Shurland James Hummingbird Nature Park, a bird sanctuary with an alfresco café located near the entrance to Main Ridge Forest Reserve, the world's oldest protected tropical rainforest.

Guests are invited to create costumes reflecting the rainforest theme. They will learn about the colorful hummingbirds that inhabit the rainforest during the Gala from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Nov.
