“Packed with information . . . this book showcases species such as the Green-crowned Brilliant, the Fiery Topaz and . . . Cuban Bee Hummingbird.” —Daily Mail

Hummingbirds have always held popular appeal, with their visual brilliance, extraordinary flight dexterity, jewel-like color, and remarkably small size.

This is the first book to profile all 338 known species, from the Saw-billed Hermit to the Scintillant Hummingbird.

Every bird is shown life-size in glorious full-color photographs.

Every species profile includes a flight map and key statistics, as well as information about behavior, plumage, and habitat.

This authoritative guide has been annotated by the world’s leading experts on hummingbirds and features a foreword by renowned birding author Pete Dunne.
