A rare calliope hummingbird sparked wild excitement in Lincoln, drawing birders from across the region to Dina Barta’s vibrant garden — where she now invites visitors to just pull up a chair. Though the tiny visitor only stayed a day, its appearance reignited local interest in nature and inspired awe among enthusiasts. Barta, a dedicated wildlife lover, designed her flower-filled sanctuary to attract hummingbirds — and it’s also become a buzzing haven for bees and butterflies. Her passion, sparked by friends’ butterfly gardens, shows how one person’s effort can transform a small space into a thriving ecosystem and a community hub for nature lovers.
