When he arrived in rehab caked in road grime, he was so badly injured that he could barely perch. But Terry Masear, one of the busiest hummingbird rehabbers in the country, was determined to save this damaged bird, who seemed oddly familiar. During the four months that Masear worked with Gabriel, she took in 160 other hummingbirds, from a miniature nestling rescued by a bulldog to a fledgling trapped inside a skydiving wind tunnel at Universal CityWalk, and Pepper, a female Anna's injured on a film set. During their time together, Pepper and Gabriel formed a special bond and, together, with Terry's help, learned to fly again. Woven throughout Gabriel and Pepper's stories are those of other colorful birds in a narrative filled with the science and magic surrounding these fascinating creatures.
