Significant extra shipping charge if going outside of US because a very large, heavy book. "This book is the result of a two-year treasure hunt that took Robert and Esther Tyrrell to some of the most dangerous jungles in the Caribbean. Only the jewels they sought were not diamonds, rubies, or emeralds. Indeed, they were far more precious, for they were seeking nature's own "flying jewels" - glittering hummingbirds. This handsomely illustrated volume introduces the nature enthusiast to the resplendent hummingbirds of the New World, a group of birds that up to now were virtually ignored by both literature and the photographic world. Shimmering in iridescent glory are 16 beautiful species that will astound the reader with their sparkling colors, incredibly minute dimensions, and fabulous tails and plumage. The world's foremost photographer of hummingbirds, Robert Tyrrell has used his expertise in high-speed photography to create a collection of exquisitely reproduced color plates that allow the full beauty of these avian gems to dazzle the eye. Included are the diminutive Cuban Bee Hummingbird, the world's smallest bird, and the sparkling Blue-headed Hummingbird of Martinique; believed to be on the verge of extinction. The exquisite long-tailed Jamacian Streamertails are also represented, as well as 3 spectacular Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Hispaniolan members of the appealing Emerald family. The text is a comprehensive survey of virtually all of the data ever printed about the Caribbean species. It not only provides in-depth information regarding the description, voice, and courtship and nesting habits of each species, but it also pinpoints exact locations on each island where these elusive birds may easily be found. There is also valuable data on anatomy, physiology, and systematic classification as well as behavior, such as feeding habits, and the hummingbird's role in Caribbean folklore. Each of these subjects, including an authoritative listing of Neotropical blossoms visited and pollinated by these birds, is lavishly illustrated. This is a stunning, easy-to-read book that combines the best in bird photography with the most complete and informative text ever available on hummingbirds of the Caribbean." 238 pp. including Index.
