Description
Hummingbirds are beautiful and mesmerising. Did you know they can flick their tongue twelve times a second? Or that they "tile" their nests with pieces of lichen and moss (the nests themselves are spun from spiderwebs and thistledown)? Or that some species sing and dance as they woo their mates? Perhaps it's no surprise that hummingbirds elicit such enthusiasm from those who love them.
This small-format hardback book includes:
45 lifelike ink-and-watercolour drawings showcasing all the species commonly found in the US and Canada, as well as the most frequent visitors-often depicted with their favourite flowers. Includes all males and many females.
Fascinating facts on cultural history, folklore, migration patterns, habitat, lifecycle, biology, and anatomy
Information on creating your own hummingbird haven using feeders, flowers, water, and shelter
Birdwatching tips and best places to visit to see hummingbirds
This book is part of the collectible mini book series Little Book of Natural Wonders, and makes a gorgeous gift (or irresistible treat for yourself) for all hummingbird lovers!
