A hummingbird sighting is a remarkable event, one worthy of remembering,

and wildlife photographer Stan Tekiela believes that hummingbirds are
fascinating and adorable birds. He spent more than 10 years traveling
across the country to observe and photograph the hummingbird's various
species, from ruby-throated to rufous. He documented every aspect of the
hummingbird's life: major events such as migration and courtship, as
well as everyday activities including feeding and sleeping.
The result is a striking portrayal of these amazing animals in
Hummingbirds. Stan's extraordinary photographs depict the backyard
birds in a new, unique fashion. His fascinating text, drawn from
detailed research and personal observations, provides information about
every aspect of the hummingbirds' lives. Presented with headings and
short paragraphs, the coffee-table book is pleasurable to browse and
easy to read.
"They are wondrous and beautiful," says Stan. "Watching them in action
is almost magical."
