Completely new to the Peterson line, this is the first comprehensive guide to the identification of North American hummingbirds. Covering thirty-one species, this book will gratify both serious birders, who need the detail included here to make difficult identifications, and casual birdwatchers, who will appreciate the nontechnical approach. Species accounts discuss plumages, sounds, behaviors, similar species, habitats, distribution, and migration. Range maps show up-to-date breeding and wintering distributions. A chapter on watching hummingbirds includes information on major hummingbird hot spots in the United States as well as advice on attracting and feeding these appealing birds.
