Tom Kaminski
" Hummingbirds! Beauty and the Beast"

Our May 28th featured guest will be Avian Video Center Producer Tom Kaminski, who will introduce his latest DVD, “Hummingbirds! Beauty and the Beast.” Tom has appeared here on two prior occasions. His new DVD features 57 hummer species, including all 16 that breed in the US. This beautifully filmed, humorously narrated program shows that hummers are:

  • Little beasts that live by the Law of the Jungle…
  • Single moms, deadbeat dads and teenage chicks…
  • Warriors with specific Rules of Engagement…
  • Connoisseurs that put flower taste ahead of color…
  • and more. Also shown: 13 other bird species, including the 3-wattled Bellbird, Roseate Spoonbill, Crested Caracara, and White-tailed Kite.

Tom began specializing in hummingbird productions in 2002. His “Hooked on Hummingbirds” in 2004 was termed by Kenn Kaufman “a fantastic video!” He also produced 2006’s “Hooked on Galapagos Birds,” described by Audubon Naturalist News as “stunning,” and 2008’s “Hummingbirds! A Natural History” – endorsed by The Hummingbirds Society for classrooms. His work has been shown on “Animal Planet” and elsewhere. Tom is based in Rolling Hills Estates, on the Palos Verdes Peninsula

The menu will be Barbecued Beef and Chicken, baked beans & Penny’s famous potato salad. The theme is Hawaiian Cowboys, also known as Paniolos, so you can come in tropical outfits or Western outfits. Side dishes are needed and if you can make some, please phone me at 858-487-9845 or Penny at 760-746-8315.

We will have plenty of birds in the front yard and in the back as we have lots of trees. Of course they may hide from so many people, but if we are quiet (?) we will see some. Just kidding. Come and have lots of fun. There will be our traditional raffle, which is an important fund raiser for Palomar Audubon.

Don't forget to bring fruit for the traditional fruit salad!!

I will have my photos of the birds of Hawaii available for your pleasure. Come and have a good ol’ time with feathered friends and all the folks from Palomar Audubon!! RSVP to me or Sunny Christiansen. Cost is $18.00 of which a part is a donation to Palomar Audubon. Looking forward to seeing you all our members at the picnic!!!
