/Hummingbirds of the Mid-Atlantic Region/
Bruce Peterjohn, Chief of the USGS Bird Banding Laboratory
Thought you saw a hummingbird during the winter? You may have and it
probably wasn’t a Ruby-throated. Gone are the days when the
Ruby-throated Hummingbird was the only species of hummingbird found east
of the Mississippi River, or when hummingbirds were believed to be only
summer residents. The mid-Atlantic region supports a surprisingly
diverse hummingbird community, especially during winter when species
from western North America regularly appear in the east.
Bruce Peterjohn will summarize our knowledge of the current status and
distribution of hummingbirds in the Virginia-Maryland-Delaware region,
providing insights into their identification, life histories, and how
these marvelous little birds are adapting to become regular winter
residents in this region.
We meet at St. Luke Lutheran Church, 7757 Chippenham Pkwy,
Richmond.Please come and join us at 6:30pm for pre-meeting coffee,
cookies and conversations.The meeting will start at 7pm.
*Thursday, November 20, 2014*: Planning ahead, mark your calendar for
/our annual pot luck dinner and program of member-shared pictures and
stories.Details will be in the November Thrasher and will be posted on
the website,/
