SUMMARY:March is Hummingbird Month at the UCSC Arboretum & Botanic Garden
DESCRIPTION:March is Hummingbird Month at the UCSC Arboretum & Botanic Garden \nThis time of year\, the Arboretum hosts both Anna’s and Allen’s hummingbirds\, the two most common species in Northern California. “The density of hummingbirds—the number per area in the Arboretum—is ridiculously high\,” says Bruce Lyon\, Professor Emeriti of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UCSC. “You can watch them feeding on flowers\, you can watch their courtship\, you can watch them chasing different species. It’s a great opportunity to see some pretty amazing hummingbird biology.” \nIn celebration of this special time of year\, we invite you to visit the garden as much as possible! We will have presentations\, workshops\, and tours throughout the month. See our webpage for a schedule of activities and more information about hummingbirds and the abundance of plants at the Arboretum that attract them. \nWe will also feature hummingbird merchandise and hummingbird-attracting plants at our gift shop and nursery. Visit Norrie’s Gift & Garden Shop\, Tuesdays thru Sundays from 10 – 4. For more information visit: https://arboretum.ucsc.edu/garden-shop/ \nAll events are free with paid admission: Adults: $10\, Seniors $8 and Youth 4-17 $5. Current UCSC students are free. Rain cancels outdoor activities. \nCurrent Arboretum members are always free and enjoy other great benefits year-round!  Join Today at https://arboretum.ucsc.edu/get-involved/join-us/    \n  \n

SUMMARY:OLLI at UCSC Sunday Speaker Meeting
DESCRIPTION:OLLI at UCSC Hosts Bruce Lyon\, Professor\, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology\nThe Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at UC Santa Cruz invites the public to an in-person presentation from 10:00 to noon on Sunday\, March 15th\, in the Colleges Nine/Lewis Multipurpose Room at UCSC. \nJoin us for a social hour and a presentation titled\, Sparrows in the Mist: Complex Winter Social Behavior in a Little Brown Bird. \nOrnithologists often study breeding birds\, and as a result\, the winter ecology and social behavior of migratory birds is relatively understudied. A 22-year study of a population of golden-crowned sparrows that winter in the Arboretum of the University of California\, Santa Cruz was conducted. Each sparrow was given a unique combination of color bands\, which allowed us to identify individual birds in the wild and monitor their behavior and survival. Given that they survive migration and breeding\, individual sparrows return winter after winter to the arboretum and flock together with the same individuals as in previous years. We used innovative social network methods to understand the patterns of social organization and discovered remarkable social complexity in these birds that is similar in some ways to the societies of mammals\, including primates. \nProfessor Lyon seeks to understand the ecological and evolutionary basis of reproductive strategies and social behavior in animals\, particularly reproductive parasitism\, parental care\, and mating systems. One focus is to understand patterns of cooperation and reproductive parasitism in birds and insects. His passion for photography has also been very useful in his research. \nOLLI at UCSC is a community of adults from diverse educational\, occupational\, and geographic backgrounds who are devoted to the pursuit of learning. This event is free and open to the public. Bring a friend. Coffee and nibbles will be served. \nFor directions and free parking information\, visit: https://olli.ucsc.edu/monthly-gatherings/location-directions-and-parking/ \nFree and open to the public \n  \nPresented by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at UC Santa Cruz.
