second Tuesday of every month at 7:00 PM at The Land O’ Lakes Community Center, 5401 Land O’ Lakes Blvd/US 41, Land O’ Lakes, 34639, between SR 52 and SR 54.

The subject of the Tuesday, September 10, 2019, meeting is The Ruby-Throated Hummingbird”, presented by Christine Rowland. Christine is the President of West Pasco Audubon, our local chapter of the National Audubon Society.

bought another pair of bird watching binoculars. She started attending the
West Audubon Society meetings after she and her husband moved to Florida from New York City where she was a high school teacher. Christine has been president of the West Pasco Audubon Society since January of this year.
