March 2011 Meeting

Our March general meeting was this past Monday. Thanks to Billie Fontana, Harris County Master Gardner, for the very interesting presentation on Hummingbirds! Did you know that most hummingbirds measure 7.5-13cm (3-5")? The smallest hummingbird is the bee Hummingbird at 5cm. Depending on the species of hummingbird, they flap their wings an average of 12-90 times PER SECOND, and they can fly backwards!!! The average life span is 3-5 years.
Do you have a hummingbird feeder? The common mixture is 1 cup white granulated sugar to 4 cups water. Boil the water, add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Enjoy the hummingbirds in your yards!!

THANK YOU!

THANKS to all of our friends and neighbors who purchased pathway bricks. The response was huge! Debbie and I also want to thank all of the members who helped by passing out flyers and talking to their neighbors about the Club and the bricks. Watch the blog for further information on when the bricks will be installed.
