FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Fort Mill, SC) According to BirdWatching.com, 914 species of birds call North America home, north of the Mexican border, including the Red-throated Loon, the Brown Pelican and the Spotted Rail. Individuals love to watch birds, as each species has their own unique style and characteristics, and America is currently home to 15 different species of hummingbirds. An easy way to enjoy birds from the comfort of one's own home or office is to make use of a hummingbird feeder offered through GratefulGnome.com.

"Hummingbirds fascinate humans, as they flap their wings so fast, approximately 80 times each second, that it sounds as if they are humming. In addition, these birds fly in every direction, including upside down and backwards,

Although a human cannot see the bird's heart or brain, it's fascinating to know they are contained inside this tiny little body that is always in motion. A person can spend countless hours watching these birds to see what they will do next," Goldhammer continues.

Unfortunately, the one thing humans will not see with these bird feeders is a baby hummingbird. This is due to the fact that baby hummingbirds cannot fly and must spend the first three weeks of their life in the nest. Humans will still have plenty of opportunities to see the adult birds, however, as they need to eat seven times every hour, on average, with each feeding lasting between 30 and 60 seconds.

"When purchasing bird feeder gifts or a feeder for personal use, consider buying one that contains the color red, as this is the hummingbird's favorite color, according to WorldofHummingbirds.com. The Grateful Gnome hummingbird feeder made of hand blown glass features a white globe with painted flower branches and a red base, making it the perfect choice for those who wish to see these animals up close. Be sure to check this feeder out today, as you'll want to purchase one for yourself and one or more for gifts for those you love, so all can enjoy the beauty of these tiny creatures," Goldhammer

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service developed recovery plans that describe actions that need to be taken to help the bird survive and recover. A few cooperative groups have been set up among Federal and State agencies, university and private research centers, and the Canadian Wildlife Service.

This field trip was a nice break from the fast-paced urban lifestyle that I have been living since moving away from home. Our excursion began at the bird-of-prey aviary. There were several types of birds at the aviary: eastern screech owls, turkey vultures, barred owls, great horned owls, and a bald eagle, to name a few.

Her neighbor Mrs. Hale stated “if there’d been years and years of nothing then a bird to sing to you, it would be awful—still, after the bird was still” (992). For example, this quote illustrates that her life changed after her bird was killed because it was the most important thing in her life since she didn’t have any children to look after.

    Least Dragons’ Social Adaptations Thrag Island poses a great challenge for a solitary species survival, the high quality but, low abundance of the food forces social groups such as the least dragons to find a safe nest and secure the survival of its members, through adaptations such as torpor, social strategies, and food provisioning.
