All, I'm sure those of you along the coast have noticed the large number of hummingbirds that arrived in the last few days! We are enjoying them greatly here at GCBO as we prepare for our annual Xtreme Hummingbird Xtravaganza in Lake Jackson. We have moved into our new building and are anxious to show it off to everyone! We will hold this event on Saturday, September 13th and again Saturday, September 20th from 8:00 until noon. Admission is $2 for adults and school age kids are free. Robert & Kay Lookingbill will be doing hummingbird banding demonstrations on both days. On the 13th Ron Weeks will give a talk on birding by ear and on the 20th Charlie Brower will amaze you with his knowledge of hummingbirds. On both Saturdays, Mike Williams will give a talk about bird photography. We also have hummingbird plants for sale along with feeders, books, t-shirts and just about everything you could want if you are a hummingbird enthusiast.
