In Anticipation of Ozark Hummingbirds

Migratory tropical hummingbirds will make their annual journey onto the Ozarks over the next few weeks, where a fortunate few will find sweet nectar freshly mixed by local residents contained in special bright red feeders. We visit Washington County resident, Sara Bartlett, who's become something of a legend in the hummingbird community.  She teaches us some rules about caring for the birds.

(Thanks to Arkansas bird expert Joe Neal for contributing hummingbird audio for this story.)
