Who was this Rivoli the hummingbird is named after? What about Anna’s Hummingbird? What makes a Roseate Spoonbill pink and why do humans take it in pill form? What killed John Kirk Townsend the namesake of Townsend’s Warbler? What bird can fly the fastest in Texas? Your birding friends will be amazed at the depth of your bird knowledge after this program.
