A Little Book of Hummingbirds by Tara Austen Weaver

Hummingbirds are beautiful and mesmerizing. Did you know they can flick their tongue twelve times a second? Or that they tile their nests with pieces of lichen and moss (the nests themselves are spun from spiderwebs and thistledown)? Or that some species sing and dance as they woo their mates? Perhaps it’s no surprise that hummingbirds elicit such enthusiasm from those who love them.
