About This Item
New York : Crown, 1984. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good +/Very Good. 9x0x12. Robert A. Tyrrell. Signed by both author and illustrator. Robert Tyrrell, the world's foremost photographer of hummingbirds, has successfully captured on film the utterly fascinating day-to-day activities of our colorful North American species. Included among the 235 full-color pictures are never-before-photographed sequences such as nesting, molting, preening and territorial aggression, as well as an unprecedented portfolio of hummingbirds feeding from wildflowers. Esther Tyrrell has written the accompanying illuminating text, by far the most complete and up-to-date information on hummingbirds ever assembled, which will make this book the definitive source for both scientists and the general reader for years to come. Light blue cloth with silver spine lettering. Author and photographer's signatures on front free end paper. Illustrated. 212pp., index. Full refund if not satisfied.
