Books by Lois Lake

The most common hummingbird in Colorado is the Broad-tailed hummingbird (Selasphorus platycercus). They typically spend the winter in Central America or Mexico and migrate north during the early spring. In this book you will learn about hummingbirds; when they arrive in Colorado, what they eat, nesting behavior, plants they love and plants that do well in Colorado - and many more fun facts.

This book is a photo journal observing the American kestrel or sparrow hawk, over a period of four years, from early spring through summer as they mated, cared for the chicks in the nesting box and finally when the chicks fledged to become independent and able to care for themselves. You will learn what they eat, how they communicate, the dangers they face and some of the fears that they overcome.
