認識大自然

Dear Friends,

Most of you have heard about hummingbird, goldfinch and poison ivy but have never actually seen them in your life.

Here are some photos taken with my iPad for your reference.

認識大自然

增加自己个常識

上山下海較安全

看過毒藤冇（Poison ivy?)

三片葉子滿那爬

有人喊著「三腳蛇」

看到三腳蛇

絕對不可接處著

否則歸身會Hoi  (癢）死

看過蜂鳥冇（Hummingbird)

體型最細飛又遽

人工蜜汁餳會來（餳讀Xia)

蜂鳥係候鳥

初春徙移來美國

初秋飛轉中南美

As far as hummingbird goes, here is some basic information for your reference. 1. You do not see hummingbird in Taiwan, other Asian countries, Africa, Europe and Australia. They live only the Americas. 2. In Native American culture, HBs are seen as healers and bringers of Love, Good Luck and Joy. 3. There are almost 300 species. The most common HB is the Ruby-throated HB. 4. The heartbeat of HB is up to 1,260 times a minute and his/her wings flap 15 to 80 times a second.

Hope you go out to see the nature and find HB for joy and good luck as well as healing the soul during COVID-19 pandemic!

My Very Best,

Big Ben
