Come out this weekend and see the winter hummingbirds in the Baton Rouge area. Baton Rouge Audubon Society is sponsoring a field trip to several homes in the area that are known to host hummingbirds. These are "western" hummingbirds that are only found in our area in the winter time. This is a half-day outing to three or four Baton Rouge homes to observe wintering hummingbirds this Saturday Jan 17, 2009. The trip will focus on homes that are hosting hummingbirds that have a high probability of being easily seen. Hopefully we'll see 4 or 5 different species of hummingbirds! We will meet at Coffee Call on College Dr. at 8am. They're asking folks to pre-register. You can either let me know you're coming and I'll contact our field trip coordinator and let him how many will there, or you can contact Robert during business hours at 926.2223 or by e-mail at fieldtrips@braudubon.org.
Last time we met we decided to change our meeting night to the third Wednesday of the month. As such, our next meeting will be Wednesday, Jan 21 at 6:30pm. We'll again meet at Melanie Driscoll's house (same place as last month). Please reply to this email if you need directions to Melanie's house. We're going to continue the Hummingbird theme and talk some more about Hummingbirds...
