“The AMAZING and Mesmerizing Ruby-throated Hummingbird!”

The Green Lake Bird and Nature Club will be hosting a SPECIAL PRESENTATION next Tuesday

evening, October 10 th at 6pm called, “The AMAZING and Mesmerizing Ruby-throated

Hummingbird” which will cover an array of information from the natural history of

hummingbirds to their migration patterns and other interesting tidbits learned through banding

efforts. In addition, there will be plenty of discussion around feeding these specialized birds.

Learn about other “winter” hummingbirds you might encounter this time of year.  

Plan to come listen to hummingbird expert Mickey O’Connor, who has been working as an

Avian Zookeeper for 26 years at the Milwaukee County Zoo. Prior to her work at the Zoo, she

worked as a wildlife rehabilitator for the Wisconsin Humane Society.  She has been banding

songbirds since 1997 (starting at the Riveredge Nature Center) and banding hummingbirds

since 2014. On her days off, she enjoys birding and spending time outside gardening and

playing with her pugs. She was a former treasurer for the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology and

leads wonderful conservation trips to Central America.

This program will take place in the newly renovated CLUB ROOM at the back of Town Square in

downtown Green Lake (492 Hill Street) and will be FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Enter at

the rear of the building, from off Water Street. There is ample parking near the doorway, with

the room being wheelchair accessible. Bring a snack to share if you wish, beverages will be

available for purchase.

The Green Lake Bird and Nature Club meets every second Tuesday of the month, from

September through May. We welcome anyone with an interest in birds and nature.
