Birdwatching is America’s second most popular hobby, and butterfly watching is definitely on the rise. In this guide, Sally Roth focuses on hummingbirds and butterflies. The combination makes perfect sense since both feed on nectar. Here Roth provides detailed information on the best plants to attract these beautiful creatures, as well as gardening design strategies to create an ideal butterfly and hummingbird backyard habitat. Also included are a field guide of 16 hummingbird species (all that exist in North America) and 75 of the most popular butterfly species, clear instructions for fun projects (like a special spray bath so hummingbirds can bath in flight), an explanation of butterfly life cycles, and advice on providing nesting sites and materials for hummingbirds.
