Reviews

Winner of the 2001 Best Bird Family Books, Worldtwitch ""The Photographic Guide... unites scholarship with unity, and it is outstanding for its photo art, which is both useful and an aesthetic triumph.""--Birding ""Unlike most field guides that only include minimal text, the comprehensive accounts of each hummingbird species in this book are better studied as a reference rather than sorting through the abundant information in the field. Once birders are familiar with the book's format, however, it can become an invaluable field guide as well, and blank pages at the back of the book are handy for field notes. With thoroughly detailed text and large, beautiful photos, Hummingbirds of North America: The Photographic Guide lives up to its reputation as a rich visual guide to some of the most beautiful birds in North America. Any birder who professes to enjoy hummingbirds is missing out if they don't add this book to their birding library.""--Melissa Mayntz, About.com
