The hummingbird is one of the most attractive and popular birds in North America. Its small size, brilliant colouring, and ability to feed in flight make it a favourite backyard visitor. This colourful guide describes the fascinating life in the wild of a variety of hummingbird species and tells bird lovers how to attract hummingbirds to the backyard. Information from the most recently published research is augmented by personal experiences in the field as well as conversations with hummingbird experts.
