Scope and content
On June 1, 1937, the Tacoma Times ran a Turner Richards portrait of a mother humming bird feeding her young on the front page of the paper. The mother bird had built her nest in a rosebush in the backyard of Edward Stabbert's home at 886 So. 86th St. The family called the paper when the mother bird went missing. They wanted to know how to feed the orphaned babies. Before they could field all 64 calls that they received, the mother bird returned, 24 hours later and dazed. She finally managed to revive enough to feed the babies herself. (T.Times 6/1/1937, pg. 1)
