Hummingbirds amaze and intrigue us. Their high-speed enigmatic lifestyles are a blur; their startling colors and exotic behaviors are delights. Hummingbirds also inspire us—they are like tiny ambassadors with the power to usher people into a deeper interest in and appreciation for the natural world. Catering to these frenetically fascinating birds borders on a national obsession, and author John Shewey taps into the intrigue in his new book, The Hummingbird Handbook. Join John for this fun-filled program to learn more about hummingbirds, how to attract them, how to cater to them, and how to be a great hummingbird host in your yard.
