Not only are hummingbirds an important part of our backyard bird watching, they are a necessary part of the life cycle of many flowering plants. Hummingbirds can be attracted to backyards and apartment balconies by providing them with nectar rich flowers or sugar water feeders. It is true that hummingbirds are attracted to the color red, but be sure to not color the water...just purchase a red feeder. Three hundred and forty hummingbird species are found around the world, but only nine have been observed in Arkansas. Only one, the ruby-throated hummingbird nests in Arkansas.

With planning and a little work, these areas can easilybe managed to benefit nectarseekers such as hummingbirds and butterflies. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/nreos/forest/steward/www20.html

Hummingbirds and Butterflies Updated 8/22/95 Backyards and other small areas may have a limited value when managing for larger species like deer, but they are extremely valuable for many other species. With planning and a little work, these areas can easily be managed to benefit nectar-seekers such as hummingbirds and butterflies. By promoting plant species and habitat components that are beneficial to hummingbirds and butterflies, you can insure their colorful presence. This publication highlights key steps to protect and provide the important habitat areas needed by hummingbirds and butterflies. Figure 1. A hummingbird. Getting Started It is important to have a soil test done on potential garden sites before beginning to plant. Soil tests are free through the NC Department of Agriculture Soil Testing Lab. Soil test information and interpretive material is available from your Cooperative Extension Service Center. Extension agents can recommend soil amendments and plants adapted to your area. After a site is chosen, sketch out a garden plan. The plan should show the arrangement of flower groups, the location of water sources, basking areas, and if needed, artificial feeder sites. Hummingbirds and butterflies are attracted to sunny areas. Improve shaded garden sites by opening the canopy.

You must also supply a HABITAT that meets the everyday needs of hummingbirds. An effective habitat will contain water shelter space , and food Natural hummingbird food comes in the form of tiny insects that provide fats and proteins, while plant nectars are the principal source of carbohydrates. Hummingbirds also get some protein from plant pollen that they ingest while sipping nectar. At certain times of the yearespecially as they fatten up for migrationthey may spend most of their time ingesting insects rather than nectar or sugar water. Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History has all the attributes needed to attract hummingbirds and other wildlife: water, shelter, space, and both natural and artificial food.

HUMMINGBIRDS Trochilidae Species in family 328 Species observed [DR] 157 (48%) Species photo'd [DR] 28 A male Allen's Hummingbird (top) turns its head (left) and suddenly the observer is dazzled by a flash of spectacular glittering color. Iridescent color among birds is one of nature's wonders, and hummingbirds display a full spectrum. For many species, iridescence is limited to a throat gorget, or a gorget and crown, but on others the entire body is jeweled with waves of color, such as on that Costa Rican endemic, the Coppery-headed Emerald The beauty, (usually) tiny size, and their ability to hover and fly backwards makes hummingbirds unique. Further, their interdependence on and co-evolution with flowers provide a fascinating correlation and field for study. This Amazilia Hummingbird in the barrens of coastal Peru (below left) has found a patch of red tubular flowers. Because the sources of nectar is constantly changing as flowers bloom and fade, most hummingbirds live solitary lives, aggressively defending nectar sources from rivals. Yet despite the strong pressure to gather nectar rapidly, studies have shown that 70% of a hummer's time is spent doing little else than singing, self-preening, and sunbathing (Schuchmann 1999). When natural nectar is harder to locate, hummingbirds readily adapt to human-made hummingbird feeders. This vagrant

Cartersville Garden Club: WILDFLOWERS "Turkish Medley" Gardening With Wildflowers You will be familiar with some of the wildflowers on this page, and may have used them along with imported flowers in your garden. Others will probably be new to you. They can be grown in beds of one flower type, or in combination with a number of other plants with similar sun, soil and water requirements. Use a mixture of perennials and annuals in your flower beds for added color, contrast and extended bloom time. Do not transplant wildflowers from the fields or woods into your garden. many will not tolerate transplanting and will not survive, whereas others may be protected in your area. You can start plants from seed packets or seeds collected in the wild. However, the easier method is to buy nursery grown stock which will transplant easily. Once established, wildflower gardens require less maintenance than other garden types. Occasional weeding, deadheading, and watering are all that will be needed. 2001 © Faith and Aaron Tatum Woodland Wildflowers Woodland Wildflowers prefer rich, humus soil which remains moist but is well drained. Be sure that you add some peat moss to the soil mixture. The
