Question Time
If you post questions, I will answer them in your very own special post!
Katie asks:
Have you actually seen any hummingbirds for your paper, or are you only working on other source materials?
The paper I have to critique is Adaptation in a Plant-Hummingbird Association, by Ethan J. Temeles and W. John Kress from 2003. I basically have to summarize the paper, present the authors' conclusions, discuss any shortcomings, talk about what was novel, and suggest ideas for further research. Not too bad.
However, I have seen lots and lots of hummingbirds, including one that zipped over my head yesterday while I was observing a patch of flowers and one that came very close to me today while I was observing a different patch. They're wonderful!

I adore hummingbirds. When Clare and I went to the North Carolina zoo (which is amazingly huge), they had an entire closed off section devoted to warm weather animals...and there was a hummingbird that roamed free in the enclosure. It would just hover right in front of your face if you stood still enough, and make these adorable little chirping sounds.
Aka, I desperately want a pet hummingbird.
