DOS April Meeting: “A lifetime quest to see all the Hummingbirds” by Hank Davis
April 17 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT
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.
Velvet-purple Coronet by Hank Davis
Hank 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.
Hank 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.
His photography can be found on his website: www.harolddavisphotography.smugmug.com.
In person only at the Ashland Nature Center.
