Blink and you’ll miss ‘em! In this episode we get to know hummingbirds eyeball-to-eyeball.

The world of the hummingbird is changing fast in the deserts of Arizona. So much so that even an animal as quick as a hummingbird is struggling to keep up. Native plant ecosystems that make up the nectar landscape that hummingbirds use to migrate are shrinking.

Join me as I travel to the mountains and deserts of the American Southwest with two experts to experience how these tiny but tough little birds manage to survive in such a harsh environment. And I get to experience these acrobatic marvels more up close and personal than I ever imagined possible.
