Our Newsletter
The
Hummingbird Society publishes a color newsletter about hummingbirds for
its members. Articles cover a variety of hummingbird-related topics, including
but not limited to the following:
- Hummingbirds at risk of extinction
- How to attract ad feed hummingbirds
- Gardening for hummingbirds
- Hummingbird characteristics and behavior
- Banding research
- Rehabilitation of injured hummingbirds
- Personal encounters
- Book and video reviews
- Members news
- High-quality hummingbird photographs
Members receive four issues for their 1-year membership. Frequency is essentially
quarterly, but publication dates vary and are rarely precise. (This situation
is expected to be remedied sometime in early 2005).
Back issues are available for USD$5.00 for issues still in stock; this
price includes shipping. Only non-current issues are available for sale.

her new home in the Davis Mountains of West Texas. She became determined
to transform it, using only native plant species, and succeeded beyond
her dreams. As a result, hummingbirds and other wildlife now call
her home theirs. |

The Amazing Hummingbird Tongue!
Contrary to popular belief, hummingbirds don't use
their tongues to suck up nectar, as with a straw. The tongue, which
can extend as far beyond the bill as the bill is long, can reach deep
into blossoms which the bill alone cannot. |
