They may be very small...
... but the life of a humming bird...
... is filled...
... with beauty and adventure that keeps you at the edge of your seat.
In 2002, Photo-illustrators Noriko and Don Carroll moved from New York City to Las Vegas and found something very intriguing at their new front door... a sign that read "BE CAREFUL! HUMMINGBIRD"S NEST ABOVE!" and that's how it all began...
Their book First Flight: A Mother Hummingbird's Story chronicles the journey of "Honey" a female hummingbird, and her young chicks, "Ray" and Zen." From dawn till dusk Honey is either feeding her little ones, looking for food, or keeping them warm. She even has a new nest going and eggs on the way before Ray and Zen are out of theirs (this bird definitely brings new perspective to the word "multitasking"!).
With such amazingly detailed photographs and thoughtful words, it's hard not to fall in love with the birds and this timeless tale.
