Book Overview

A combination of illustrated field guide, fact book, and folklore collection, "Hummingbirds" is a new kind of wildlife book. This concise, illustrated handbook presents an accurate, informative portrait of hummingbirds in their natural habitat, along with an examination of their relationship to man.

America’s most popular bird, the hummingbird is also unique to this hemisphere. Native cultures—including Aztec, Mayan, and North American Indian—have long revered this tiny creature for its amazing iridescent colors and fearless behavior. Once killed by the millions to provide feathers for European fashions, hummingbirds—noted for being the smallest birds with the biggest appetites—are now a favorite of backyard bird watchers in North America.

"Hummingbirds" is a user-friendly guide to these winged creatures, providing an illustrated examination of their behavior, biology, and individual characteristics. A practical resource for both the backyard and the field. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Answers all your Hummingbird questions

This is the best reference book on hummingbirds I own. Small enough to use as a field guide yet covers everything you need to know to study hummingbirds. Good drawings,vital statistics, and range maps of the United States Hummingbirds plus information about the hummingbird family [Trochilidae]
