by Donald and Lilian
Stokes. An excellent comprehensive book about attracting hummingbirds with great
photos.
As user Audrey noted, "This is a very useful guide to attracting and caring for
these hummingbirds, with great photographs supplementing text that is
well-written and filled with wonderful advice and tips about feeders, habitat,
gardens, identification and further resources. Sections also detail behavior,
photography, babies and feeder problems. Nicely done and very helpful."
