I wanted to let you know about a new #Holiday happening on October 3rd Butterfly and Hummingbird Day #NationalButterflyAndHummingbirdDay which is a fun resource for our children to study in #Homeschool. I thought I would share some books I plan on sharing with Charlie to read to my nieces and nephews which could be used in a #Homeschool Reading Class.
The author of The Backyard Bird Feeder’s Bible shows readers how to attract butterflies and hummingbirds to the backyard feeder by creating an ideal backyard habitat and provides a field guide to the sixteen hummingbird species and seventy-five of the most common butterfly species that make North America their home. 15,000 first printing.
Hummingbirds and Butterflies (2) (Peterson Field Guides/Bird Watcher’s Digest Backyard Bird Guides)
Hummingbirds and butterflies are some of the most beautiful visitors to a backyard, but they can also be some of the most elusive. This second collaboration between the Peterson Field Guide series and Bird Watcher’s Digest includes tips on how to attract hummingbirds and butterflies to backyards—and how to identify them once they’ve arrived.
Bill Thompson III and Connie Toops have decades of firsthand experience and have written the book in a fun, lighthearted style, providing both amateur and veteran nature watchers with need-to-know information, including where hummingbirds and butterflies live, what they eat, and the best garden plants to attract them. The species profiles of the 15 most common hummingbirds and 40 most common butterflies serve as a field guide, showing ranges, identifying marks, and preferred habitats. Full-color photographs and detailed drawings make attracting, identifying, and feeding these colorful creatures a snap.
The Hummingbird and The Butterfly
A not-so-young-anymore Hummingbird and a Butterfly in the best of her years both live in a glade, at the borders of a city, the known world, and a huge forest, the unknown. What do they have in common? Their love for flying and the desire to learn and discover everything about the world. Their quiet and peaceful daily-life is so up until the day when the sea breaks into their lives with a promise. From then on, nothing is going to be the same.
A tale for kids which will also remind those who kids are no more, of the passion that drove them when they were at the threshold of life. A tale about freedom, passion and love. Written, revised and edited on a train, during a series of travels through Europe, The Hummingbird and the Butterfly is the first work of a peculiar author, who has only recently discovered his passion for story-telling.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
