Hannah the amazing little hummingbird
hannah
Mr. Nag brought home the story of the amazing little Selasphorus hummingbird who ended up in Niagara Falls, far from home, and became a star. More than 500 people came to visit this amazing little bird in her back yard habitat. An expert hummingbird bander (this is an occupation?) was able to capture her and band her without any trauma. As the weather became colder the family who "adopted " her put up a Scotch Pine tree where she could take shelter and a sparrow became her roommate there. Many people followed her story and we had planned to visit her but, sadly, she didn't survive the bitterly cold weather and died just before Christmas.
