When he arrived in rehab caked in road grime, he was so badly injured that he could barely perch. But Terry Masear, one of the busiest hummingbird rehabbers in the country, was determined to save this damaged bird, who seemed oddly familiar. During the four months that Terry worked with Gabriel, she took in 160 hummingbirds, from a miniature nestling rescued by a bulldog and a fledgling trapped inside a skydiving wind tunnel at Universal CityWalk, to Pepper, a female Anna's injured on a film set. In their time together, Pepper and Gabriel form a special bond and, together, with Terry's help, learn to fly again. Woven around Gabriel's and Pepper's stories are those of other colorful birds in this personal narrative filled with the science and magic surrounding these fascinating creatures. 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed. 650 0 Hummingbirds. 650 0 Wildlife rehabilitation|zCalifornia|zLos Angeles. 650 0 Wildlife rescue|zCalifornia|zLos Angeles. 650 0 Human-animal relationships|zCalifornia|zLos Angeles. 650 0 Hummingbirds|zCalifornia. 650 0 Wildlife rescue. 650 7 Hummingbirds.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00963726 650 7 Wildlife rescue.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01175418 651 7 California.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204928 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMasear, Teresa E., 1959-|tFastest things on wings|dBoston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2016 |z9780544705371|w(DLC) 2016000114 856 40 |uhttps://naper.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/library /title/0015343387|zFound on Boundless
