This basic introduction to hummingbirds includes excellent close-up photographs of beautifully colored birds flying, eating, and feeding their young. "Hummer Fact" sidebars add to the information; maps blended into the background of several shots show habitats. While the page design and text layout look haphazard at times, the easy-to-read book is a good starting place for young researchers and budding ornithologists.
