The Secret Lives of Hummingbirds takes the reader into the sometimes-mysterious, always-fascinating world of North American hummingbirds. The text, which is supplemented by numerous sidebars and 29 full-color photographs, is written in an engaging, comprehensible manner. Topics covered in this book include: anatomical adaptations of hummingbirds, coevolution of hummingbirds and their flowers, convergent evolution of North American hummingbirds and North American hummingbird flowers, territorial and reproductive behavior, migration and distribution, the Desert Museum's hummingbird aviary, and attracting and enjoying wild hummingbirds.
