Lots of science cloaked in comedy.

Warning, there may be a few almost potty words (bleeped) and innuendo. But there is a great amount of hummingbird science.

Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.

Urban Wild,
You just made my day! This video is hysterical! Love it! I have 5 feeders around the back of my house and Ruby-throated hummers. There is aerial warfare going on continuously. It's not like I don't have flowers for them, I have two patches of cardinal flowers and two of scarlet sage as well as scarlet swamp hibiscus and black and blue. I had no idea about half of the info in the video. Great discovery!

When You send forth Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth! Psalm 104:30
