No other family of birds can lay claim to so many superlatives, including smallest size, most rapid wingbeat, and most specialized plumages. While many species can be attracted to feeding stations and backyard flower gardens, others can be found only in the wild. Paul A. Johnsgard's Hummingbirds of North America is the only book devoted to the identification, distribution, and biology -- both individual and comparative -- of all hummingbirds that breed in North America. First published in 1983, this acclaimed volume now has been revised and expanded to include twenty-five Mexican species, such as the long-billed starthroat and the fork-tailed emeralds, thereby more than doubling the species coverage of the original edition. Full species-by-species accounts survey the evolutionary history, anatomical and physiological specializations, and comparative ecology, behavior, and reproductive biology of this largest family of nonpasserine birds. Individual accounts are complemented by 24 full-color paintings. Including updated range maps, identification keys, and a bibliography that has been broadened to include literature on the little-known Mexican species, the book is both accessible to amateur birders and an authoritative volume for ornithologists. 000851343 588__ $$aTitle from resource description page (viewed December 05, 2016). 000851343 650_0 $$aHummingbirds$$zNorth America. 000851343 852__ $$bcoll 000851343 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000851343 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1084703$$zOnline Access 000851343 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:851343$$pGLOBAL_SET 000851343 980__ $$aEBOOK 000851343 980__ $$aBIB 000851343 982__ $$aEbook 000851343 983__ $$aOnline 000851343 994__ $$a92$$bISE
