Hummingbirds In Poetry
hummingbirds in Poetry. by Raphael Carter. I only know of three poems about hummingbirds, two by Emily Dickinson and one by DH Lawrence.
http://www.chaparraltree.com/oneshots/hummers.shtml

Extractions: Luckily for us. You could almost think after reading this that Lawrence had mistaken the hummingbird for some other bird, perhaps the eagle or the woodpecker. On a closer look, he does know something about the hummingbird; it appears as itself for an instant, a "bit chipped off in brilliance," before being ludicrously expanded. That makes it worse, in my opinion. He knows that hummingbirds are small and very fast and often very bright, and yet he writes this ponderous, ungainly poem whose rhythms would be more suitable for describing an elephant.

My Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds

http://home1.gte.net/cpq2m2ce/hummers.htm

Extractions: A Short Guide to Attracting and Viewing Photos by Tom Sanford How can one not be fascinated by a 3-inch bird that weighs less than 3 ordinary paper clips, crosses the Gulf of Mexico non-stop on wings beating 60 times per second and lives primarily on the nectar of beautiful flowers? In addition, this bird's irridescent emerald green and scarlet red colors make it nothing short of a flying jewel when viewed in the sunlight of a bright summer's day...something that my amateur photographs cannot accurately portray. Top THE MIGRATORY CYCLE My home in Nashville is on the Middle Tennessee flyway that these wonderful creatures follow northward from South America each Spring to breed and raise their young in the eastern U.S. and Canada. Having crossed the Gulf, they arrive exhausted on the coast of the southern states in very early Spring, and move north with the blooming of the flowers. (Yes, they do fly non-stop over the Gulf of Mexico, and many perish in the effort. Many workers on Gulf oil platforms maintain feeders for these little creatures who may arrive on the drilling rigs too exhausted to continue.)

Hummingbirds: Frantic And Fascinating - National Zoo| FONZ
hummingbirds Frantic and Fascinating by Terry Dunn. hummingbirds certainly didn t escape the notice of early human residents of the Americas.
http://natzoo.si.edu/Publications/ZooGoer/2002/1/hummingbirds.cfm

Extractions: by Terry Dunn th century. Other scientists fascinated by these mesmerizing birds have bestowed upon them names such as purple-crowned fairy, green-breasted mango, glittering-throated emerald, sapphire-vented puffleg, fiery topaz, peacock coquette, and shining sunbeam. By the late 19th century, hummingbirds were well-known in Europe, but with fame came exploitation. A growing market in London and other European cities for their skins, bodies, and feathers fueled the killing of hundreds of thousands of hummingbirds. Feathers were used for hat decorations. The skins were used in collections and to make artificial flowers and dust catchers. Preserved hummingbird bodies were paired with flowers and arranged like museum dioramas on top of women's hats. The trade in hummingbirds escalated to a point where, in a single year, one London dealer imported 400,000 hummingbird skins from the West Indies. Not until the passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, which prohibited commercial trade in any migratory bird species or its feathers, were conservationists in the United States able to change the tide of fashion and slow the decline in hummingbird populations. The number of species already driven extinct by that time remains a mystery.

Extractions: Maincontent Local Navigation Supplemental Navigation/Info Printer friendly ... Hummingbird Roundup Texas Hummingbird Roundup This myth has been around for years and the easy answer to it is, watch what happens around your feeder. In central Texas, early September usually brings a huge number of birds, followed by a mid September cold front. Feeders active on the night of the cold front will see a dramatic transition - from huge numbers the night before to one or two birds the morning after. These birds moved on despite the feeders, and the migration was not interrupted. Some special, cold weather precautions do need to be considered, especially as one moves further north in the state. If we are likely to see a frost that night, the feeder should be brought in or protected from the cold over night. If the feeder is covered or removed, it should be replaced, and the sugar water should be thawed, before the birds begin feeding in the morning. Spring 2003 Issue of Texas Hummer available.

Gardening For Hummingbirds
Gardening for hummingbirds. Midwest/Great Plains. North beastly. Gardening for hummingbirds can be as simple or as complex as you like.
http://www.birdwatchersdigest.com/special_sections/hummingbirds/hummer_gardening

Extractions: Ed Kanze Gardening for hummingbirds can be as simple or as complex as you like. First, of course, you need a patch of ground within the breeding or migratory range of one or more hummingbird species. Where I live in upstate New York (and throughout the eastern United States), the hummingbird that nests in trees and passes through town during spring and fall migrations is the ruby-throated. Western friends see a variety of species, and in the Mississippi town where my wife and I once lived, friends report regular visits from two hummers, the ruby-throated and the rufous. People who hike through hummingbird territory wearing red have learned that the color red can be a powerful attractant to hummers. In Big Bend National Park in Texas, I was once prodded repeatedly by a blue-throated hummingbird. It mistook the maroon day-pack on my back for an oversized blossom. No bird lives on sweet drink alone. For hummingbirds, insects and spiders provide fat and protein vital to their survival. So while hummers come to your garden for nectar, they will also take away bellies full of bugs. Hummingbird flowers generally have little odor, for most hummers have little or no sense of smell. (The black-chinned hummingbird of the West may be an exception, or the rule. Studies suggest that this hummer sniffs its way to feeders. Further study will clarify whether other species do, too.) Yet what they lack in scent, hummingbird blossoms make up for in pleasing shapes and colors.
Hummingbirds--Attract Hummingbirds To Your Garden
hummingbirdsAttract hummingbirds to your garden. CORVALLIS hummingbirds are garden jewels, as beautiful as they are valuable.
http://eesc.orst.edu/agcomwebfile/garden/wildlife/hummingbirds.html

Extractions: EESC Home Gardening Information Northwest Gardeners E-News CORVALLIS - Hummingbirds are garden jewels, as beautiful as they are valuable. Each weighing less than a nickel, hummingbirds play an important role in the garden as pollinators and insect predators. Five kinds of hummingbirds regularly visit Oregon, according to Nancy Allen, wildlife instructor with the Oregon State University Extension Service. Rufous hummingbirds, the most common, migrate south for the winter, returning north to most regions of the state in March and April. Anna's hummingbirds are year-round residents in western Oregon. And there are small populations of black-chinned, Allen's and calliope hummingbirds in southern and eastern Oregon during summer. There are two ways to attract hummingbirds to your garden - by growing nectar-producing flowers and by supplementing natural nectar with sugar-solution feeders. Hummingbirds need to eat a third to a half of their body weight daily to fuel their high-energy lifestyle. Their diet includes both nectar for carbohydrates and insects for protein. Protein in their diets is especially important while they are feeding youngsters. Chances are your garden already contains elements favored by hummingbirds, since they use a variety of trees, shrubs, and vines as shelter and sources of food. Hummingbirds are especially attracted to the color red. Good choices are plants with red or orange tubular flowers, such as fuschias, red-flowering currant, columbines, coral bells, salvias and penstemons. They also love bush and vine honeysuckles, hollyhocks, nasturtiums and petunias as well as blossoms from black locust, flowering crab apple and hawthorn. Provide a succession of nectar plants that will bloom from spring to fall, giving hummingbirds a continual source of food through the seasons.

Extractions: Plants that Attract Hummingbirds Hummingbirds are special little birds. They dart and hover, zipping sideways, backwards, up and down. Their beauty and agility fascinate us and bring action to the garden. Hummingbirds need high-energy fuel and they get it from the nectar that certain flowers produce. In return, hummingbirds transfer pollen from the male part of a flower (the stamens) to the female part (the pistil) of a different flower. Flowers that are especially adapted for hummingbird pollination are long and tube-shaped and often red. Type Scientific Name Common Name(s) Trees
