Hummingbirds: Michael Fogden

Hummingbirds is the first book of its kind to present all 337 species of hummingbirds in their true-to-life size. Known for their jewel-like size and color, these diverse birds have long fascinated ornithologists as well as the general public. Here, for the first time, authors Michael and Patricia Fogden have painstakingly tracked down and photographed every species in the Trochilidae family from some of the most remote places in the world. Arranged here in taxonomic order, every bird is depicted in life-size, and is accompanied by a short description, maps, and factual info, including the best viewing locations; habitat; breeding season; size; and conservation status.
