Make Your Backyard the One the Hummingbirds Come Back To

A 295-page Florida field guide written by a registered nurse who approaches hummingbird care the way he approaches patient care: research everything, document what works, cut the guesswork. Built for Florida's climate, not someone else's.

Picture it. A warm morning, coffee in your hand, and a hummingbird hangs in the air a few feet away, wings a blur, her gorget catching the light. That moment is the whole point.
Everything in this guide exists to make it happen in your yard, and to keep it happening season after season.

A Nurse’s Mission:

Hi, I'm Nick Wollitz, registered nurse, lifelong collector, and backyard hummingbird feeder keeper. I wrote this guide the same way I approach patient care: research everything, document what works, and cut out the guesswork. The Backyard Companion is what I wish someone had handed me when I started. If you want your feeder to actually work, this is for you.
