The North Shore Audubon Society will hold its monthly program on Tuesday,
January 22, 2019, from 7pm to 9pm, at the Manhasset Public Library, 30
Onderdonk Avenue, Manhasset NY 11030. All are invited, free of charge.
Public transit users: This location is a half-mile walk from the Manhasset
LIRR station.
NSAS will present the PBS/Nature film “Super Hummingbirds”.
Hummingbirds are amazing creatures to behold. They are the tiniest of
birds, yet possess natural born super powers that enable them to fly backwards,
upside-down, and float in mid-air. Their wings beat faster than the eye can see
and the speed at which they travel makes people wonder if it was indeed a
hummingbird they actually saw. They also are only found in the Americas. These
attributes have both intrigued scientists and made it challenging to study the
species, but with the latest high-speed cameras and other technologies, Super
Hummingbirds reveals new scientific breakthroughs about these magical birds.
Hummers may be the smallest birds in the world, but what they lack in
size, they make up in speed and the ability to adapt in ways we’re just
beginning to learn about as they continue to evolve.
