<h3> Needleless to Say, It Does Look Strange
|

<p>Trees can be grouped into two categories: evergreen (retaining leaves year-round) or deciduous (losing leaves) in the fall. Within the evergreens are the conifers like the pines. These trees can and do lose some of their green foliage each year, but not all needles.</p>

<h3> Why Do Hummingbirds Hum?
|
||
</h3>
|
||
<p>People seem to have a warm spot in their hearts when it comes to hummingbirds. Even veteran bird watchers get excited upon seeing a new visitor. Hummingbirds get their name from the humming sound produced by their wings beating at 70 beats/sec when flying, and they also chirp.</p>
