[cobirds] The Joy of Hummingbirds - This Tuesday with BCAS!

Join Boulder County Audubon this Tuesday for a program featuring the captivating hummingbirds of our local area, the Rocky Mountains, and beyond.

The talk will highlight the species that Steve and Deb Bouricius have documented during their 23 years of studying hummingbirds. It will share some things they have learned and what they still hope to accomplish through banding.  Included will be ways to attract hummingbirds and the amazing array of plants they use.  Steve will touch on the trials of hummingbird life including some remarkable observations of their behavior. 

Steve and Deb Bouricius are engaged in multi-faceted studies of hummingbirds including a 15-year study of Black-chinned Hummingbirds nesting in their apple orchard. Steve is a master bird bander with 23 years of experience banding hummingbirds and American Dippers. Since 1999, Steve and Deb have banded 11 species of hummingbirds in Colorado, and 13 species in the United States. In 2009, they hosted the Hummingbird Research Group Conference which brought together 35 hummingbird banders from across North America. In three morning sessions, 1,568 hummingbirds of three species were banded in the Peaceful Valley area.
