Another story of a hummingbird that Arnette Heidcamp helped to overwinter in New York state -- this one the first rufous hummingbird confirmed to be sighted there. Heidcamp writes tenderly and with obvious affection about her little charge, detailing Rosie's personality and adventures. Illustrated lavishly with charming photographs, the small volume is also a pleasure to look at. I adored A HUMMINGBIRD IN MY HOUSE, and I love this one too.

What do you know? Annette Heidcamp did it again! She housed a lost hummingbird. And seems to have done a good job of it. Interesting facts about hummingbirds.

Not all that well-written but learned a lot more about hummers. Nice glossy pages with lots of photos and flower recommendations for the birds.
