A Hummingbird in My House: The Story of Squeak by Arnette Heidcamp was a cute little story of one winter when the author helped a juvenile hummingbird who was not quite ready to migrate (he hadn’t fattened up enough) winter over in her greenhouse. The book includes many interesting facts and observations about Squeak and several other types of hummingbirds. I would have liked it if the author had waited until the next season to write the book and thus update readers on whether or not Squeak survived his first migration to return to her garden. ( ) This is a fun little book, just a look at one person's experience housing one ruby-throated hummingbird for one winter, but it is sweet and quite informative. The photographs add to the pleasure. Arnette Heidcamp found Squeak in her yard long after all the other hummingbirds had headed south for the winter and was afraid he would not survive if she did not help him, so she made her sunroom his residence and spent the winter journaling his behavior. In the spring, she released him and he took off, never to return. That was the hard part for me - not knowing what became of him. But Heidcamp certainly did all she could to give him a chance! This is a sweet book about the author and her found hummingbird, named "Squeak". Squeak is a male juvenile male who ended up waiting too long to migrate south. Luckily, the author found him, brought him to her sun room (with blooming flowers), where he spent the winter. Its a cute book, filled with wonderful photographs and hummingbird trivia. The ending is a bit sad, where the author lets him go in the spring to live a wild hummingbirds life. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
