WOS Monthly Meeting, Monday, October 7, 2024
Connie Sidles: “Hummingbirds, Masters of the Air”
Note: This meeting will be conducted only by Zoom; there is no in-person meeting. Participant sign-in on Zoom begins at 7:15 PM Pacific Time. The meeting will begin at 7:30 PM.
With their ability to hover in place, fly upside-down or backwards, and cross seas without stopping, hummingbirds seem immune to the ordinary laws of physics. Their jewel-tone feathers flash in the sun brighter than rubies or emeralds. Their wings flap faster than the eye can see. Their courtship flights defy gravity. These tiny dynamos of the avian world both fascinate and flummox us. Find out more about one of the fiercest birds in the animal kingdom, as Master Birder Connie Sidles brings us an appreciation of the wonders of hummingbirds, and tells you how to attract them to your yard.
