Join the North Cascades Audubon Society for their monthly program in the Rotunda Room of Old City Hall.
More than a decade ago, wildlife biologist Greg Green was asked to explain why the Anna’s hummingbird overwinters in the PNW – a question that sparked a research project and article in BirdWatching Magazine. Ever since, Green has been giving presentations about the ecology of hummingbirds and recently returned from the cloud forests of Ecuador, where he photographed and observed some of the 132 species that live there. Green’s presentation at the museum will provide an overview of the unique ecology of this extraordinary group of birds, contrasting the PNW with Ecuador, and tell the fascinating story of Anna’s hummingbird’s march north over the past 75 years. Greg Green is an instructor at Western Washington University, where he teaches ecology, wildlife techniques, and natural history.

The Whatcom Museum acknowledges that we gather on the traditional territory of the Lhaq’temish – Lummi People – and the Nuxwsá7aq – Nooksack People – who have lived in the Coast Salish region from time immemorial. The Museum honors our relationship with all of our Coast Salish neighbors and our shared responsibilities to their homeland where we all reside today.
