“When you see a baby hummingbird that you’ve been caring for fly for the first time, it’s amazing,” says Jody Giddings when I spoke to her recently about her 10 years of experience as a wildlife rehabilitator. Jody is the founder of Sunday River Wildlife that opened this past December in Newry. Sunday River Wildlife’s mission it to help native Maine wildlife including baby chipmunks, turtles, weasels, and even bats. Birds, including tiny hummingbirds (photo by Jody Giddings), are a specialty. “At first, they don’t know what they are doing, but when a hummingbird zips up and hovers for the first time, I swear they get a look on their little faces that says, ‘Wow, look what I can do’.” Jody says, when that happens, she knows these little acrobats will soon be ready to be released into the wild.

I’ve spent the holidays enjoying a gift my wife gave me, Birds of Maine. This book was recently published by Princeton University Press and Nuttall Ornithological Club with support from Maine Audubon and the Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund. It provides detailed accounts about the 464 species of birds that have been found in Maine over the last 70 years. It picks up where Ralph Palmer’s book, Maine Birds published in 1949, left off. The book is a work of Peter Vickery who either wrote or collected the data for this massive work. His wife, colleagues and friends completed the work after his death in 2017.
