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 hardcover book includes: 45
lifelike ink-and-watercolor drawings showcasing all the species
commonly found in the US and Canada, as well as the most frequent

hummingbird haven using feeders, flowers, water, and shelter
