It's a delight to hear the whir of an incoming hummingbird and catch a glimpse of the darting creature as it lands momentarily on the red and purple bee balm in the garden. But then it's gone in a flash. That's why James B. Sumpter's photo essay of the ruby-throated hummingbird is so intriguing. The photographer masterfully captures the magnificent birds with the click of his camera and magnifies their images so we can see every bright and brilliant detail, from the white tips on their tails to the jewel-toned feathers on their backs, heads, and necks, to the slender tongues as the birds sip nectar. This coffee-table volume is sure to be picked up often by readers of all ages. Looking at hummingbirds brightens everyone's day. --- Meredith Cummings, Editor-in-Chief, So It Goes: The Literary Journal of the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library

Synopsis
This book is a culmination of a journey of discovery, amusement and wonder. Each full-page photograph, unencumbered by text, tells its own story. Each a slice of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird life. Each a slice of wonderment and discovery. Each a slice of beauty and fascination. Together they are a stop action revelation of hidden treasure., This book contains 88 full-page sized photographs that show the Ruby-throated Hummingbird in great detail, from numerous perspectives. They capture the many variations in its appearance, including its green and gold iridescent colors, its black beak, its white tongue and its black wing feathers. Other photos show the various iridescent colors (red, gold and black) of the male's throat feathers. In addition, some photos catch the humming bird in mid-flight, thereby "freezing" its wings. A number of photos show females and adolescent males who are partly distinguished by the white tips on six of their tail feathers (three on either side). The adolescent male can be further distinguished by the dark streaks and/or a small fleck of red feathers on his throat. Other photos show the female clutching clumps of spiderweb that she will use in constructing her nest. Many photos show the Ruby-throated Hummingbird roosting or feeding at a feeder, while others show the hummingbird feeding on flower nectar. Still, other photos capture the territorial nature of the humming bird, as they show dramatic slices of "feeder wars."

Great seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).
