Hummingbirds are a glittering, sparkling collective of over 300 wildly variable species. For centuries, they have been revered by indigenous Americans, coveted by European collectors, and admired worldwide for their unsurpassed metallic plumage and immense character. Traveling the full length of the hummingbirds' range, from the cusp of the Arctic Circle to near-Antarctic islands, acclaimed nature writer Jon Dunn encounters birders, scientists, and storytellers in his quest to find these beguiling creatures, immersing us in the world of one of Earth's most charismatic bird families.

Great book but poor narration
Reviewed: 10-01-21
As a beginner birder, I was primed to love the content of this book, and I did. However, from the very beginning, the narrator’s voice felt as a mismatch. His pronunciation of non-English words is horrible and it made me cringe. Until they find another narrator, I would suggest to just read the book.

There are not enough stars to tell you all how much I recommend Chanel’s book. I am a mother of three boys and I am trying my best to raise them to be like the Swedes. Dear Chanel, thank you for your bravery in sharing your truth, for your clarity, for your voice.

I really liked his story. It was very entertaining and the twists surprised me. I think one of the voices was too high pitch but it grew on me by the end. I recommend it.
