Join the Adopt A Stream Foundation community for this new Streamkeeper Academy class to learn all about one of the most beloved and colorful species of birds- hummingbirds!
Greg Green is a career wildlife biologist and instructor at Western Washington University where he teaches ecology, wildlife techniques, and natural history. Greg is also a nature photographer and writer and recently published the book Wild Lives with Art Wolfe highlighting the state of the world's wildlife through photography and essays.
A dozen years ago, Greg was asked to explain why Anna's hummingbirds have come to overwinter in the Pacific Northwest, which culminated in a research project and an article in BirdWatching Magazine. He has since been lecturing on the ecology of hummingbirds, expanding his interest in North American hummingbird range expansion, and recently returned from the cloud forests of Ecuador where he photographed and observed a portion of the 132 species that live there. Green's presentation, entitled Ecology of Hummingbirds, will provide an overview of the unique ecology of this extraordinary group of birds including contrasting North American with Ecuadorian, and will tell the fascinating story of Anna's hummingbird's march north and east over the past 75 years.
