Strawberry Plains Audubon Center - During this year's Hummingbird Celebration, many volunteers, staff and supporters were saddened to hear of the passing of Bob Sargent at the age of 77. Bob, who was an electrician by trade, was the director and founder of the Hummer/Bird Study Group, along with his wife Martha. For well over 30 years they have been instrumental in the bird and conservation community, expanding our knowledge about hummingbirds and many other migratory species.
