When Noriko and Don Carroll moved from New York City to suburban Las Vegas, they found a tiny nest on a clothesline on their back porch. As the Carrolls settled into their new home, so did a female hummingbird they named Honey. For weeks, the Carrolls watched in fascination as they witnessed an event few humans are privy to-the birth and growth of two hummingbirds. First Flight is the beautifully photographed story of Honey and her two chicks, Ray and Zen. In over 50 stunning, full-color close-ups, it captures the grace, the beauty, and the simultaneous strength and fragility of one of nature’s tiniest birds.

Hummingbirds will defend their feeders not only against other hummingbirds but also against much larger species of birds. And they usually win.

Bargain hunters can often be fierce, too, in defending their finds—or their hunting grounds. That is why many of us prefer shopping on line for bargains. It is easier and safer than trying to elbow your way through crowds.

Plus, bargains at physical stores and malls almost never equal the bargains you can find on line. Especially at a new site I found called NoMoreRack.

I’ve been reading nomorerack reviews. There are lots of them. Apparently I am not the only one who is impressed.

Here’s the deal: The site offers 8 amazing bargains every day, plus one bargain for which part of the profit is donated to charity. The deals are amazing. Today there is an $850 men’s watch for $220, for example. Every day the deals are different.

And then there are the Insanity Deals, which are even wilder. For example, yesterday they offered iPads for $43.20, Louis Vuitton handbags (genuine) for $18.10, Gucci sunglasses for $9.50, and so on.

So, just like a hummingbird I check in there every day to see what is on offer. But I’m not fighting off other customers. I’m inviting my friends.

If you invite your friends, and they simply sign up for a free account (no need to buy anything), you earn credit toward gifts like Cuisinart appliances, Nikon cameras, iPads, and iMacs. Just for telling your friends.

The only catch here is that you have to sign up for a free account before you can view the site and see what today’s deals are. But I’m happy to give them my email address in return for nectar-sweet deals.

Nature’s in Flight Spinner adds color and beauty to your home – indoors or out. Hangs 17″ long and is 11″ diameter at the widest point. Glass ball

This book is the first ever, comprehensive photographic guide to the identification of all 24 species of hummingbirds to be seen as breeders or vagrants in North America. For all their startling colors, the speed of hummingbird flight and the often drab coloration of females and immatures make this group especially difficult to deal with in the field. The simple field marks are often poorly lit, hard to spot, or simply not shown by any particular individual under observation. But accurate identification of these popular and beautiful birds brings both real satisfaction and a welcome challenge to most birders. Steve Howell, a well-known and respected bird tour leader and author, has made a particular study of the finer points of hummingbird recognition and has specially chosen over 200 stunning photographs to complement the information given in his text. Some species feature as many as 14 photographs each. A detailed introduction covers the basics of hummingbird anatomy and plumage

Watching hummingbirds swarming around  the red-nectar hummingbird feeders hanging along the eaves of the covered deck, we would lie back on rafts and just zone out. Bright sunlight and cool water are the perfect combination on a summer day in the Texas Hill Country.

As a child I never worried about pool care. There were no oak trees near the pools, so we never even had to scoop leaves out of the water and Pampa took care of the maintenance. It was just pure fun for us.

As an adult, I had to learn a lot about keeping our pool clean and the pool filters functioning properly. But there is a good web site that provides information along with pool supplies and accessories, so I know what I’m doing without having to take too much time away from photographing and painting hummingbirds.

I trust the pools supply experts, and I can order pool supplies on line and have them delivered right to the door. No fuss. No muss. And it saves more time for watching hummingbirds.

We keep a log of the species we can identify, and add the photos we take of them. It is fun, though not quite as much fun as being a kid, jumping into a cool swimming pool on a hot summer day in Central Texas.

There is a sense of mystery that surrounds hummingbirds: Why are they so small? What makes it possible for them to hover? Why are they so colorful? Do they ever rest? This book gives the often amazing answers. The Secret Lives of Hummingbirds takes the reader into the high-energy world of North America’s smallest bird. Hearts that beat 500 to more than 1200 times per minute. Wings that buzz at as much as 52 beats per second. And respiration that can clock in at up to 600 breaths per minute. But their energetic lifestyle is only one facet of the secret lives of hummingbirds. Illustrated with twenty-nine full-color photographs, The Secret Lives of Hummingbirds is a treat for birders, naturalists, or anyone else who can’t resist the allure of these eye-catching, pugnacious miniature birds. The book also includes a close-up look at the Desert Museum’s famous hummingbird aviary as well as tips on how to enjoy and attract wild hummingbirds. It’s no wonder that The Secret Lives of
