Well, a very cool presentation about them anyway...

TOMORROW NIGHT

A LIFELONG QUEST FOR HUMMINGBIRDS: A MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION

Anne Arundel Bird Club and Quiet Waters Park Annual Heise Wildlife Lecture
Thursday, March 12 at 8:00 p.m.--Blue Heron Center, Quiet Waters Park, Annapolis

Join hummingbird expert Nancy L. Newfield of New Orleans as she
presents a fascinating photographic story detailing her more than 30
years of study and adventure in pursuit of the world’s smallest birds.
Nancy, co-author of Hummingbird Gardens, pioneered the practice of
landscaping to provide natural food sources for hummers and thus
learned the best ways to attract them to any garden.  Nancy handles
and bands nearly 500 hummers of as many as 9 species each winter as
part of her study of hummingbird populations in southern Louisiana and
has banded more than 18,000 hummingbirds of 15 species in Louisiana,
Mississippi, Texas, and Arizona.  She has authored four other books as
well as more than 250 papers and articles.  Nancy previously organized
birding tours to Central and South America through her HummerQwest.
She presents this amazing program of adventure in pursuit of the
world’s smallest birds.

DON’T MISS THIS INSPIRING PRESENTATION ON HUMMINGBIRDS. A DONATION OF
$5 REQUESTED AT THE DOOR. See you tomorrow night in Annapolis
(Hillsmere, that is)

Best,
