If you have feeder and love these creatures, best book on the subject. Creative/artistic presentation/colorful.
I own all three of Anthony's books! The hummingbird content and how he has articulated everything in an easy-to-read format. His photography is world-class. The details and vivid colors make this a remarkable collection. Each book serves a different purpose. Resting Beauties is about how sleep in hummingbirds is vital to their survival, with never-before-seen images of hummingbirds resting. Loved ones in Flight speaks to our spirit and the symolization of hummingbirds and the spirit world. Nectar and Feathers, my goodness, so much content about hummingbirds with photos that support each chapter. You will see a rare glimpse of the Buffy Helmetcrest with a bug in it's beak. Something I have never seen before! What excellent books perfect for any bookshelf and coffee table. Even better, if it is shared, it makes perfect gifts!
This is actually my 3rd Hummingbird book by Anthony! They are all done so beautifully, and are a great addition for your coffee table, to share with others! Just love them!!
From the front cover of ‘Nectar and Feathers: A Book About Hummingbirds’ to its last chapter, I was captivated. Author and photographer Anthony Lujan manages to present a highly informative and at the same time, reader-friendly book about hummingbirds.
Characteristics such as hummingbird behavior, habitat, and diet are just some of the educational facts about hummingbirds that Lujan gives to us as the readers. What makes this book even more enjoyable are the hummingbird photographs that Lujan has taken to capture their beauty. From the hills of the Dominican Republic to the isles of Trinidad and Tobago, Lujan’s photographs show that no matter where a hummingbird resides, its diversity and resiliency are what makes them so fascinating.
I would highly recommend the purchase of this book! I am confident you won’t be disappointed.
This colorful collection of up close pictures and commentary provides an inside look about hummingbirds. They are an asset unique to our animal kingdom, to our visual curiosity and a pleasure to watch.
