Hummingbirds with Dana Duxbury-Fox and Bob Fox on Thursday, October 27 at 7:00 pm at the Mattapoisett Free Public Library and online. Email nbcbirdclub@gmail.com for information and the Zoom link.
Dana and Bob have developed a new talk focusing on Hummingbirds, that spectacular bird family we love and think we know. They will begin by focusing on what is a hummingbird and their adventures with 10 different, remarkable species they have seen on their journeys in the Americas. Then they will share the results of recent research which has given us deeper insights into the wonders of this family – how they evolved, pollination through nectar gathering (including a comparison with bees and butterflies), their diet of insects and nectar, nectar feeding technique, use of torpor, how iridescence is produced and their courtship. Many spectacular pictures and videos will be included. Come and marvel at these little gems.
Can’t wait!
