Join Bruce McCammon's presentation on Hummingbirds. Beginning with an introduction to global hummingbird populations and distributions, Bruce teases you with photos of amazing hummingbirds ranging from the third smallest bird on earth to the Robin-sized Giant Hummingbird. The program then focuses on the hummingbirds of the USA before converging on the four species seen in Washington State. Bruce uses data collected in three community science efforts to dive into the status and wonder of the Anna’s Hummingbird in the western USA and Washington. A short video created in 2021 finishes the program by showing the only known documentation of successful nesting, rearing, and fledging of Anna’s in the Wenatchee valley and eastern Washington. Presentation in WRI's Red Barn.

Cost: $10
