GREAT BEND ­– Hummingbirds may be the most attractive and anticipated visitors to backyards each year and anyone who has been entertained by these tiny darters knows just how mesmerizing they can be. Don Kazmaier, Larned, is a hummingbird enthusiast and has photographed and studied these birds’ habits extensively. On Sunday, April 17, Kazmaier will share his knowledge about Kansas hummingbirds in a presentation during the Friends of Cheyenne Bottoms (FOCB) annual meeting at the Kansas Wetlands Education Center (KWEC), 592 NE K-156 Highway, Great Bend.

Come out for a free barbeque sponsored by FOCB from 5-6 p.m. and stay for the annual meeting and hummingbird presentation. Attendees are encouraged to sign up for or renew their annual FOCB membership, which is $25 for individuals or families; however anyone may attend the programs free of charge.
