Product Review
"Hummingbirds of Texas is a book Texans long have needed . . . Stunning photographs, color drawings, and explanatory tables augment the clearly written text. You can enjoy the book by merely flipping the pages or giving it a close read, but in either case you will gain pleasure and knowledge in equal measure." -- Houston Chronicle, September 2005
"Hummingbird enthusiasts, particularly those in Texas and its surrounding states, will love this book." -- The Quarterly Review of Biology
"a valuable resource to urbanites, rural land owners, and out-of-state birders--I can't think of anyone it wouldn't appeal to." -- Kelly Bender, Urban Wildlife Biologist, Central Texas, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
Product Description
Written for a general audience, with spectacular images for birders and nature enthusiasts at every level, Hummingbirds of Texas: With Their New Mexico and Arizona Ranges reveals the enormous appeal of this tiniest and shiniest of birds.
The book opens with a look at the many manifestations of the human attraction to these flying jewels, including the Hummingbird Roundup, a citizen-science project run by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, as well as the Rockport–Fulton Hummer/Bird Celebration, one of several festivals dedicated to hummingbirds. The book also includes easy tips for attracting hummingbirds to your own lawn or garden, such as what to plant in the ground or in pots and how to choose and take care of feeders.
The authors then showcase the nineteen different hummingbird species that have appeared in the region covered by the book. Magnificent color photographs and original artwork aid in identification and accompany descriptions, range maps, and abundance graphs for each species.
