Being at home with the kids all day has me watching a lot more Direct tv than I ever would have thought. I actually really like vegging out with a good episode of Hoarders in the afternoon although really, can you think of a more depressing show than that one, really? I can’t imagine why people would get that way but you know, I think my mom might have some hoarding tendancies if left to her own devices which is why I watch – I want to get coping skills in case one day she really does go off the deep end and start collecting anything and everything she can find. She already shops too much but what woman doesn’t, at the end of the day. That doesn’t make her a hoarder it just makes her a spender which is something my dad has been trying to wring out of her for the last 20 years to no avail. She’s not going to just stop out of nowhere now that she’s retired!

When Noriko and Don Carroll moved from New York City to suburban Las Vegas, they found a tiny nest on a clothesline on their back porch. As the Carrolls settled into their new home, so did a female hummingbird they named Honey. For weeks, the Carrolls watched in fascination as they witnessed an event few humans are privy to-the birth and growth of two hummingbirds. First Flight is the beautifully photographed story of Honey and her two chicks, Ray and Zen. In over 50 stunning, full-color close-ups, it captures the grace, the beauty, and the simultaneous strength and fragility of one of nature’s tiniest birds. Professional photographer Don Carroll’s images of his tiny housemates are woven throughout with Noriko’s charming narrative describing the mother bird and her developing brood. Not just for bird enthusiasts, First Flight is a magical mix of hummingbird field guide, personal story, and new life taking flight. Readers will be captivated by the inherent drama as it unfolds in

Getting hummingbirds to stay around and getting migrating hummers to return year after year, however, takes a little more effort. If you want them to nest in your yard, you need suitable trees and a good population of spiders. That means you cannot spray with pesticides.

In certain parts of the country, especially in humid, forested areas near lakes and streams, spiders are considered pests. People install misting systems to keep spiders away from their houses and porches so that they will not clutter up the place with webs.

Spraying for spiders can be counterproductive for two reasons: Spiders eat flies, mosquitoes, and other flying pests, and hummingbirds eat spiders. In fact, spiders are the hummingbirds’ main food source.

So if you kill off the spider population near your house, your yard becomes less attractive to nesting hummingbirds. The spray may also be bad for the tiny birds. Do not spray for mosquitoes or wasps either.

Planting red, trumpet-shaped, nectar-bearing flowers also attracts hummingbirds. If you do that, be sure to plant them where you will be able to easily see the hummingbirds to come to drink from them. It can be a beautiful sight.

In dry areas, or during dry summers, lawn sprinklers help the flowers and provide drops of water on leaves for the hummingbirds. To save water in dry areas while maintaining lush flowers and foliage for the hummers, a drip irrigation system is efficient and economical.

So if you want crowds of hummingbirds around your feeders, and you want the chance of seeing a nest of baby hummers in your yard, be kind to spiders, plant the right flowers and plants, hang red hummingbird feeders (and keep them clean and filled with fresh nectar)—and irrigate for lush vegetation.

Then just sit back and watch the show.

A pocket-size, brilliantly colorful, simple-to-use guide to hummingbirds, containing dozens of full-color photographs that enable readers of all ages to identify the most common species; range maps; tips on attracting hummingbirds, information on habitat needs, life cycle, food preferences; and much

Hummingbirds will defend their feeders not only against other hummingbirds but also against much larger species of birds. And they usually win.

Bargain hunters can often be fierce, too, in defending their finds—or their hunting grounds. That is why many of us prefer shopping on line for bargains. It is easier and safer than trying to elbow your way through crowds.

Plus, bargains at physical stores and malls almost never equal the bargains you can find on line. Especially at a new site I found called NoMoreRack.

I’ve been reading nomorerack reviews. There are lots of them. Apparently I am not the only one who is impressed.

Here’s the deal: The site offers 8 amazing bargains every day, plus one bargain for which part of the profit is donated to charity. The deals are amazing. Today there is an $850 men’s watch for $220, for example. Every day the deals are different.

And then there are the Insanity Deals, which are even wilder. For example, yesterday they offered iPads for $43.20, Louis Vuitton handbags (genuine) for $18.10, Gucci sunglasses for $9.50, and so on.

So, just like a hummingbird I check in there every day to see what is on offer. But I’m not fighting off other customers. I’m inviting my friends.

If you invite your friends, and they simply sign up for a free account (no need to buy anything), you earn credit toward gifts like Cuisinart appliances, Nikon cameras, iPads, and iMacs. Just for telling your friends.

The only catch here is that you have to sign up for a free account before you can view the site and see what today’s deals are. But I’m happy to give them my email address in return for nectar-sweet deals.

This book is the first ever, comprehensive photographic guide to the identification of all 24 species of hummingbirds to be seen as breeders or vagrants in North America. For all their startling colors, the speed of hummingbird flight and the often drab coloration of females and immatures make this group especially difficult to deal with in the field. The simple field marks are often poorly lit, hard to spot, or simply not shown by any particular individual under observation. But accurate identification of these popular and beautiful birds brings both real satisfaction and a welcome challenge to most birders. Steve Howell, a well-known and respected bird tour leader and author, has made a particular study of the finer points of hummingbird recognition and has specially chosen over 200 stunning photographs to complement the information given in his text. Some species feature as many as 14 photographs each. A detailed introduction covers the basics of hummingbird anatomy and plumage
