Garden Variety Roadside Weeds

In our travels around the country, my wife and I have been amazed by the usual stuff; the craggy peaks of the Rockies, the utter horizontal-ness of Kansas, the ancient towering Redwoods of northern California, the honey and syrup sunrises over the Gulf of Mexico. But more than that, the usual stuff, we marvel at the range of wildflowers that have turned up all over the country. In Mississippi that means roadsides littered with garden-variety flowers.

Winter Hummingbird Information

I've had longstanding questions about the Anna's hummingbirds which overwinter here in the Pacific Northwest (and along much of the Pacific coast). How dependent are they on our feeders? By feeding them in the winter, are we making them unnaturally dependent on our feeders? When other food sources are less available, as they are in the winter, would it be wise to feed hummers a commercial solution of nectar which provides added nutrients, or should we continue to feed a solution of one part sugar and four parts water, as we do the rest of the year? I consulted an expert, Sheri Williamson, author of the recently published Peterson's Guide to Hummingbirds of North America. Sheri's response is included here in its entirety.

Outdoor & Recreation

Canyoneering Paria Canyon and Buckskin Gulch

The Paria Canyon is a sinuous wonderland of varnish-streaked walls, massive red rock amphitheaters, sandstone arches, wooded terraces and hanging gardens, all winding downstream to the Colorado River itself. And its long tributary, Buckskin Gulch, dives deep beneath the earth for a startlingly long stretch of dark narrows.
