"This isn't just an adventure story; it's also a cautionary tale. All young hummingbirds who are about to make their first Zugunruhe hear this. Shall I begin, Spitfire?"

Together, Spitfire and his sister Amelia recount their own thrilling journey from their winter home in Bocas del Toro, Panama to their summer home in Sequoia National Forest, California. Now, Spitfire's children are getting ready for their first Zugunruhe (migration). While warning the little hummers about the many pitfalls and near calamities they encountered during their journey, Spitfire and Amelia hope they will be able to tell the differences between friend and foe along the way.
