07.16: Fastest Things on Wings: Rescuing Hummingbirds in Hollywood
2015-06-16 23:04:40| Powells Books Events Calendar
Terry Masear's Fastest Things on Wings (Houghton Mifflin) is a heartwarming account of the trials and triumphs a hummingbird rehabber encounters while caring for her tiny, fragile patients. Before he collided with a limousine, Gabriel, an Anna's hummingbird with a head and throat cloaked in iridescent magenta feathers, could spiral 130 feet in the air, dive 60 miles per hour in a courtship display, hover, and fly backward. When he arrived in rehab caked in road grime, he was so badly injured that he could barely perch. But Masear, one of the busiest hummingbird rehabbers in the country, was determined to save this damaged bird. During the four months that Masear worked with Gabriel, she took in 160 hummingbirds, including Pepper, a female Anna's injured on a film set. Woven around Gabriel's and Pepper's stories are those of other colorful birds in this personal narrative filled with the science and magic surrounding these fascinating creatures.
