Descripción
Here is a completely enchanting book about the most enchanting of birds. On the tiniest of avian bodies, Hummingbirds bear the most glittering plumage and the most elegant adornments. Their beauty, intense activity, and association with brilliant flowers have fascinated birdlovers and naturalists for centuries.
Within these pages, Alexander Skutch and Arthur B. Singer, both world-renowned ornithologists, have combined forces to produce a balanced and exciting account of the life of Hummingbirds–their appearance and structure, where they live, how they fly, what they eat, their relations with flowers, their temperament, how they court and build their nests and rear their young, their enemies and prospects for survival.
