SUMMARY:DOS April Meeting:  "A lifetime quest to see all the Hummingbirds" by Hank Davis
DESCRIPTION:I became passionate about Hummingbirds on a trip to Cuba with the Delaware Nature Society in 2013. Since then\, I have traveled to Ecuador 3 times\, Costa Rica 2 times\, Brazil 4 times\, Mexico once\, Trinidad & Tobago once\, and Peru once. I still have many more countries to go to. I would love to see all 360+ species but realize that will not happen. There are places where one just does not go to see Hummingbirds. So far\, my life list is 160 species\, of which I have photographed 149. This presentation is primarily a photographic journey of my quest to see Hummingbirds. \n\n\n\n\n\nVelvet-purple Coronet by Hank Davis \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHank Davis is originally from New York City\, but has lived in the Delaware Valley for 47 years.  When he moved to the area\, he gained an appreciation for nature and open space.  Ultimately\, this led to a career in horticulture that lasted many years.  Since his retirement\, he has decided to pursue his lifelong passion in photography. While his primary photographs are of horticulture\, he has recently included birds\, dragonflies and butterflies to his portfolio. \n\n\n\nHank also serves the community by volunteering to take photographs for the Delaware Nature Society\, Bucktoe Creek Preserve\, Longwood Gardens and the Delaware Center for Horticulture.   \n\n\n\nHis photography can be found on his website: www.harolddavisphotography.smugmug.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn person only at the Ashland Nature Center.

SUMMARY:Late Afternoon Bird Walk at the DuPont Environmental Education Center/Russell W. Peterson Refuge with Joe Francis
DESCRIPTION:Palm Warbler by Michael Moore \n\n\n\nExplore Delaware’s Premier Urban Wildlife Refuge!\n\n\n\nEnd the week on a positive note with a leisurely walk at the Russell W. Peterson Refuge.  These walks will begin roughly 2 hours before sunset\, allowing opportunity to check out roosting waterfowl\, shorebirds\, rails\, wrens and blackbirds as well as early spring migrants.  Crepuscular sightings of muskrat\, beaver and river otter are possible.  We will walk about two miles\, mostly on boardwalk.  Beginners are welcome\, so bring a friend who is new to birding.  Thanks to regular pedestrian traffic and security  patrols from the Wilmington Riverfront\, this has been a safe area even after dark. \n\n\n\nMeet by the Russell Peterson statue in the parking area for the DuPont Environmental Education Center.  Those interested in more information may contact Joe at jfrancismd@verizon.net.
