The Hummingbird Garden is packed with pertinent information, from a description of what hummingbird gardening is all about to how hummingbirds can be conserved and protected. The author explains the extraordinary way hummingbirds live and behave, the regions they inhabit throughout the year, and their migrating habits. He discusses how to start your own garden by recommending what to plant and then outlines what interesting events will take place in it. The valuable appendixes give complete information on hummingbird and plant varieties, bird and conservation organizations, mail-order sources, and an extensive bibliography. A beautiful insert shows twenty different full-color photographs of hummingbirds enjoying their wonderfully active life in gardens created expressly for them.

“The Hummingbird Garden is one of those extraordinary publishing happenings-a book has been brought into being that is indispensable for people with a garden/hummingbird kind of mind. And they, after all, are the kind of people that matter in this world.”

—Roger Caras, author of The Endless Migrations

“As he has earlier done for butterflies, Mathew Tekulsky now shows us how to bring the stunning butterflies of the bird world-hummingbirds-into our lives. His clear and engaging prose makes a wonderful word-map into that charmed place of delight and fascination, the hummingbird garden.”

—Robert Michael Pyle, author of Chasing Monarchs

“Mathew Tekulsky’s book on hummingbirds goes beyond anything I dreamed of in terms of research and vivid descriptions of hummingbirds and their homes. He has a contagious enthusiasm for his subject.”

—John V. Dennis, author of A Complete Guide to Bird Feeding
