WELCOME TO BACKYARD VISITORS

Welcome to Backyard Visitors, I'm Elizabeth.
As I was growing up my parents encouraged my brother and me to be very interested in all the critters we saw or raised in our backyard.
I have always been interested in all the wildlife we saw in our backyard, but over time became a passionate hummingbird enthusiast.
I have always been fascinated and amazed by the skill, strength, and beauty of hummingbirds.
They are another wonderful key contributor in aiding with pollination and maintaining a balance of ecological environmental sustainability.
On this site, I share all of my discoveries that I have found regarding hummingbirds, and hopefully encourage and inspire more devoted fans.
I will also share the many other aspects of backyard life my family has taught me to cherish.
I LOVE my backyard!
