The Glitter in the Green: In Search of Hummingbirds

This book is notable for its beautiful, creative, metaphorical descriptions of hummingbirds. The genius title of the book and the gorgeous cover art are just the beginning. Jon Dunn's love for these little birds is evident on every page. Each new species he encounters is a revelation and you can't help but feel enthusiastic along with him. The photography is very good. Also enjoyable were his historical notes about each hummingbird. He often has interesting anecdotes about their “discovery,” along with local lore.
