Book Synopsis He Saw a Hummingbird by : Norma Lee Browning
Download or read book He Saw a Hummingbird written by Norma Lee Browning and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-09 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite severe diabetes, Russell Ogg was a successful photographer who traveled worldwide with his wife, journalist Norma Lee Browning. He's always been able to cope with anything, but when diabetes began to rob him of his sight, "it was like a violinist losing his fingers." When Norma Lee saw him sitting day after day on the patio of their home in Palm Springs, slumped in despair, his sightless eyes fixed on nothing, she too became depressed. But a miracle was about to happen. Then suddenly a red hummingbird appeared that changed their lives. Norma Lee frankly describes her doubts and the errors she made in identifying the birds her husband tried to photograph. She also concludes, from her close observation of the hummers, that "the experts" are wrong on many counts. But the miracle that provides the heart-warming conclusion to this unusual story involves Russell Ogg's eyesight. His sight improved. His eye doctor said he saw better than it was possible for him to see. "There is no way to explain medically how he does it ... his photographs tell us something about the magnificence of man." His inspiring story is a testament to human courage and hope.
Book Synopsis Harry the Hummingbird by : Patricia Thorpe
Download or read book Harry the Hummingbird written by Patricia Thorpe and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story line of this book was created from the pleasure I attained while looking out of a large picture window at my lake property in Wisconsin. Over many years, as I drank my morning coffee or eat my lunch at noon, I observed in wonderment many different kinds of animals and birds interacting with one other like themselves or different from themselves. Nature continued to illustrate further observations that I have hope to share as additional story lines in the future. Harry is the name I lovingly gave to a hummingbird that I believed acted in such a manner that could be created into a children’s book as a learning method. Perhaps this book can be enjoyed by children plus assist them in learning the importance of sharing.

Book excerpt: There are times when everyone needs to hear the comforting words, “Don’t worry, everything will be all right.” We need to know that there’s someone greater than ourselves watching out for our well- being. And that when the worst seems to be happening in our life or in the lives of those we love, there is someone who hears our prayers, sees our need, and responds in love. In this simple, true story, the chance meeting of a pet cat and a hummingbird reflects this truth in a real and comforting way. Confronted with a natural tragedy, the author is reminded of a Biblical truth and calls upon God to intervene. When He does, the author’s faith is encouraged. In turn, she invites readers to trust in the God of the Bible who cares—even about sparrows and hummingbirds.

Book Synopsis The Ruby-throated Hummingbird by : June Osborne
Download or read book The Ruby-throated Hummingbird written by June Osborne and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this invitingly-written book, June Osborne paints a fully detailed portrait of perhaps the best-known hummingbird in the United States, the ruby-throat. There is no mistaking a hummingbird. Even people who hardly know a robin from a sparrow recognize that flash of iridescent feathers and the distinctive hovering flight. So popular have “hummers” become that even casual birdwatchers now travel great distances to hummingbird hot spots to see masses of birds in their annual migrations. Drawing from her own birdwatching experiences, June Osborne offers an “up close and personal” look at a female ruby-throat building her nest and rearing young, as well as an account of a day in the life of a male ruby-throat and stories of the hummers’ migrations between their summer breeding grounds in the United States and Canada and their winter homes in Mexico and Central America. In addition to this life history, Osborne recounts early hummingbird sightings and tells how the bird received its common and scientific names. After an overview of hummingbirds’ distinctive ways of feeding, flying, and conserving energy, she offers a detailed description of the ruby-throat that will help you tell females from males, immature birds from adults, and ruby-throats from similar species. Osborne also takes you on a visit to the “Hummer/Bird Celebration!” at Rockport, reviews hummingbird banding programs, and explains how to attract hummingbirds to your yard or apartment balcony.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A hummingbird book that’s like them—zippy and fun . . . [It] will warm your heart while making you into an armchair ornithologist.” —Associated Press The beloved New York Times–bestselling author of the National Book Award finalist The Soul of an Octopus delivers a charmingly perfect gem of a book about the most exquisite and extraordinary of winged creatures—hummingbirds. As one of the most beautiful and intriguing birds found in nature, hummingbirds fascinate people around the world. The lightest birds in the sky, hummingbirds are capable of incredible feats, such as flying backwards, diving at speeds of sixty-one MPH, and beating their wings more than sixty times a second. Miraculous creatures, they are also incredibly vulnerable when they first emerge from their eggs. That’s where Brenda Sherburn comes in. With tenderness and patience, she rescues abandoned hummingbirds and nurses them back to health until they can fly away and live in the wild. In The Hummingbird’s Gift, the extraordinary care that Brenda provides her peanut-sized patients is revealed and, in the process, shows us just how truly amazing hummingbirds are. With Sy Montgomery’s signature “joyful passion,” and including sixteen pages of gorgeous color photos, this beautifully written and inspiring little book celebrates the profound gift that hummingbirds are to our planet and is the ultimate gift for nature lovers and bird watchers everywhere (Library Journal). “This slim book, centered on two abandoned hummingbirds who are nurtured back to health, is ideal for garden reading.” —The Washington Post “Montgomery’s bright, richly illustrated chronicle stirs renewed appreciation for human empathy, skill, and wonder and a miraculous winged species.” —Booklist
