About the Book
Like dazzling jewels, hummingbirds tirelessly dart among flowers, probing for nectar with their needlelike bills. They are poetry in motion, their purring wings tracing a perpetual figure eight. Now you can marvel at a year of their delicate beauty, iridescent feathers, animated energy and extraordinary diversity. Watch them work and play, shimmer and flash in the sky with their stained-glass radiance. In Hummingbirds 2012, world-renowned nature photographers Michael and Patricia Fogden celebrate these tiny, alluring creatures. Informative captions shed further light on the secret and very busy lives of hummingbirds.
