Hummingbirds of Costa Rica.

Richmond Hill: Firefly Books, 2006.
Quarto, dustwrapper, 153 pp. colour photographs.

Features 44 of the 45 species of hummers that inhabit Costa Rica. (The Plain-capped starthroat, the missing species, lives only in the highest treetops. The authors have never encountered one at a height low enough to photograph.) Each bird is depicted in its natural habitat and with the flower with which it naturally associates. Hundreds of detailed close-ups show each bird's unique features and allow the reader to fully appreciate these stunning marvels of nature.
Featuring the work of internationally acclaimed nature photographers Michael and Patricia Fogden, this richly illustrated guide covers: biology; predators; the relationship between hummingbirds and flowers; feeding strategies; a year in a hummingbird's life; and a hummingbird site guide.
More than 90 plant species, belonging to 34 families and over 60 genera, are featured along with the hummingbirds.
