June 11th, 2011  Christina Haynes made it possible for me to present my hummingbird talk at the wonderful nursery, Plant Depot. They make a point to protect nesting hummingbirds.  If a hummingbird has nested and laid her eggs the plant will not be sold until her babies have fledged.  They post a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the tree or rose bush.  It was an overcast day but my talk still drew a crowd of 45 hummingbird enthusiasts.

June 18th, 2011 Goin Native on Los Rios Street San Juan Capistrano.  I presented my talk to a small appreciative group at Marianne Taylor’s lovely garden, Goin Native, on Los Rios Street, San Juan Capistrano.  Los Rios Street is the oldest continued habited neighborhood in California.
