My wife and I enjoy watching the hummingbirds through our front window and I decided to find a reference book on the little birds so we could see what kinds shared our front yard.
I was amazed to find so much information in one small book about hummingbirds and so many beautiful pictures to help identify them. There is information about their nesting, eating, migrations and tips to help encourage the birds to share your yard. It is also amazing that because of their extreme need for high energy food and the scarcity of nectar, they are born to be very aggressive to protect their sources.
The author did us all a great favor in writing this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to watch hummingbirds

Loved this book, was informative with general info, not so much that you are overwhelmed. Just sorry to learn that East Texas is home to only one specific hummingbird. But now I am prepared to know if we get visitors. Had best year yet for hummers...love them

I first got this book from the library and was so impressed that I wanted one for myself. It describes so many different hummers (with amazing photos) even though it says they are only ones that come to TX, NM, and AZ. Many are described also that just rarely have made an appearance. It also includes information regarding the places for hummer lovers to go and see mass # of birds, the photos throughout are astounding, and it tells ways to become a hummingbird counter in your own backyard. One book I will cherish.

This is a beautiful book full of interesting information and lovely pictures. I am enjoying the hummingbirds who visit us much more since I read the book.

Not only is the photography wonderful but the information provided about these amazing little birds is meaningful and well presented. A must have for anyone who loves Hummingbirds, even if one has no intention of ever making a visit to Texas. Just fab!
