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.
