The Ecology of Hummingbirds

Cost: Free
This presentation by Gregory Green will provide an overview of the unique ecology of this extraordinary group of birds, contrasting the Pacific Northwest with Ecuador, and will tell the fascinating story of Anna’s hummingbird’s march north over the past 75 years. Greg is a career wildlife biologist and instructor at Western Washington University. Over a decade ago, Greg was asked to explain why we have a hummingbird that overwinters in the PNW (Anna’s), which culminated into research and an article in Bird Watching Magazine. He has since been lecturing on the ecology of hummingbirds, and recently returned from the cloud forests of Ecuador where he photographed and observed a portion of the 132 species that live there.
Greg has recently completed a stunning book. “Wild Live’s” on the wildlife of the world with nature photographer Art Wolfe. The book will be available for purchase and for Greg to sign after his presentation.
