Hummingbirds of North America

Description

This book is the first comprehensive photographic guide to identifying the 24 species of hummingbirds that are considered breeders in North America.

Steve Howell, a well-known and respected leader and author of the bird tour, has conducted a private study of the finer points of hummingbird recognition and has especially chosen more than 200 impressive photographs to complement the information given in his text. Some species present up to 14 photographs each. A detailed introduction covers the basics of hummingbird anatomy and plumage variation, allowing the observer to effectively focus on points that are of value in the field. New field marks are provided and old myths were dispelled in this essential and innovative new guide.
