Hummingbirds

Dr. Jerry Jackson

Hummingbirds – the smallest of birds and unique to the Americas – have been likened to jewels and in the 1800s stuffed ones were even worn as jewels might be to adorn ladies clothes. Today we value them as “jewels” that visit our feeders and the flowers in our yards and gardens.
