Glitter in the Green: In Search of Hummingbirds

Jon Dunn's "fantastically informative" exploration of the hummingbird is a well-researched and fascinating account of the species. Hummingbirds, a group of over three hundred species, are revered by indigenous Americans, European collectors, and worldwide for their metallic plumage and immense character. Despite their diverse habitats, they exist on a knife-edge, fighting for survival in boreal woodlands, cloud forests, and subpolar islands. Dunn travels from the Arctic Circle to near-Antarctic islands, encountering birders, scientists, and storytellers to explore the world of one of Earth's most charismatic bird families.
