Product Information
Covering 31 North American species, with more than 250 color photos and 33 maps, this is the most comprehensive field guide to hummingbirds. Introductory chapters cover the natural history of hummingbirds, ways to attract and feed them, and major hot spots in the United States and Canada for observing these fascinating birds. The 31 color plates illustrate 28 species, 7 hybrid combinations, 3 forms of albinism, and 4 species of sphinx moths often mistaken for hummingbirds. Species accounts provide in-depth information on plumage, molt, songs and calls, wing sounds, similar species, behavior, habitat, distribution, taxonomy, and conservation concerns. Detailed, up-to-date range maps show breeding, non-breeding, and year-round distribution, migration routes, and records outside expected areas of occurrence. For a few widespread migratory species, separate maps illustrate expected spring arrival dates.Product Identifiers

Lots of information
It is a very complete guide to hummingbirds. There is a section discussing in detail, with lots of photos, the physical attributes of each species, the unique attributes of wings and tails, with comparison photos. It includes species intergrades. Another section of the book has a full description, range map and migration timing map for each species so you can see what to expect at any time of year. My only complaint is the organization is confusing, as are the plate numbers and page numbering. I have a hard time looking things up, especially because I have to look in two disconnected places to find all the information about one species. I owned this book in the past, gave it to someone years ago, and then when I became interested again in hummingbirds, I looked specifically for this book.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
