Chris Wood – “Rays of the Sun” – A Hummingbird Sampler
September 10, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Called “rays of the sun (huitzitzil)” by the Aztecs, who also thought them reincarnations of brave warriors, hummingbirds have long captured imaginations and affection for their colors, boldness, and diversity. Wood has travelled to several neotropical regions and the southwestern United States, in addition to our own backyard in Connecticut, collecting observations and photographs of nearly 100 different hummingbirds. He shares photos and stories of these birding trips and information about the evolution, natural history, and unique characteristics of this remarkable group of birds. Chris Wood has been an active birder and bird photographer for 45 years. He is currently a member of the Connecticut Ornithological Association Board of Directors and is a founding member of the Western Connecticut Bird Club.
This meeting will be held virtually.
