Recommended Reading
If you would like to learn more about hummingbirds, I'd highly recommend the book 'Hummingbirds: A Celebration of Nature's Most Dazzling Creatures' by Ben Sonder.
If you're looking for a resource on the Web that's packed with information about hummingbirds, be sure not to miss the The Hummingbird Society website.
