The Bird in My Backyard

Synopsis

In an urban backyard on Canada’s West Coast, a window salesman has created a living laboratory for investigating hummingbird behavior. “The Bird in My Backyard” follows citizen scientist Eric Pittman as he documents the journeys of two female Anna’s hummingbirds as they attempt to raise their young in his urban garden. It’s a story about the childlike curiosity in all of us, the wonders it can reveal and the doors it can open if we just lean in a bit closer.
