| Transcript | The Spoonbill A Publication of the Ornithology Group (OG) of the Houston Outdoor Nature Club ,__%___ August 2006 Vol. 55 No. 6 ."S» August Meeting Monday, August 7, 2006 - 7:00 p.m. Bayland Community Center 6400 Bissonnet, Houston 6:30 - Learning Corner - with Mark Klym: Hummingbirds (bring your field guides) Program: Chasing Hummingbirds Across Texas Speaker: Mark Klym Texas has a wonderful diversity of hummingbird species, second to none in the nation, but some areas of Texas are more likely to see some birds than others. Even within neighborhoods, one garden will be swarming with hummingbirds, while a nearby garden, even with a well-maintained feeder, may be ignored. Why is this? A slide program by Mark Klym at our next OG meeting may answer this question. Looking at each of the 18 species that have been found in Texas, Klym explores their habitat needs in an effort to determine how we can make our gardens more welcoming to these birds. Mark Klym is coordinator of the Texas Wildscapes and Texas Hummingbird Roundup programs at Texas Parks and Wildlife. He received baccalaureate degrees in Biological Science and in Fisheries and Wildlife Management from Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Mark followed the hummingbirds to Texas in 1999 to work with Texas Parks and Wildlife. He is coauthor of the recently published book "Hummingbirds of Texas" by Texas A&M Press, as well as author or editor of a number of publications by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
