Attention bird and nature lovers!

Luke Tiller, an Altadena based professional bird guide, will discuss native California Hummingbirds at Pasadena Public Library’s Linda Vista Branch.

Of the 350 species of Hummingbirds worldwide, about six of them can be found regularly in Pasadena. These amazing avian dynamos often weigh less than a teaspoon of sugar and yet some species undertake an annual migration that covers thousands of miles between their wintering grounds in Mexico and their nest sites in Alaska. Discover more about the lives of these astonishing little birds, learn how to identify the species in Pasadena and how to attract them to your yard using feeders, plantings or a combination of the two.

Originally from London, England, Luke Tiller transplanted to the United States in 2003. As a professional hawk watcher he has traveled the world to witness raptor migration. He has experience counting raptors in North America, Europe and the Middle East. Tiller has written about birds and birding for publications both in the US and in Europe including Audubon Magazine, Birdwatch Magazine and ABA’s Birding Magazine. Tiller is currently based in Altadena and also serves as a board member of the Pasadena Audubon Society.
