On Monday from 7-8:30pm, Connie Sidles, will be giving a talk on Hummingbirds at the UW Botanic Gardens’ Center for Urban Horticulture (3501 NE 41st Street).
The information says:
With their ability to hover in place, fly upside-down or backwards, cross seas without stopping, hummingbirds seem immune to the ordinary laws of physics. Their jewel-tone feathers flash in the sun brighter than rubies or emeralds.
Their wings flap faster than the eye can see. Their courtship flights defy gravity. These tiny dynamos of the avian world both fascinate and flummox us.
Come find out more about one of the fiercest birds in the animal kingdom. The cost is $22.
Constance Sidles is a master birder and long-time member of the Seattle Audubon Society. She has written four books about nature focusing on her the Montlake Fill, also known as the Union Bay Natural Area. at the Center for Urban Horticulture.
Her most recent book, Forty-Six Views of Montlake Fill includes poems and Sumi paintings about "finding joy in the connections we make with nature and with each other."
