Hummingbirds: Jewels in Flight (1992) by Connie Toops
The Hummingbird Book (1989) by Donald and Lillian Stokes
These are two very nice books with lots of color pictures.
I learned that orioles see hummingbirds as rivals for sources of nectar and will kill hummingbirds.
Squirrels will raid hummingbird nests, eating eggs and nestlings.
Bluejays attack and kill hummingbirds.
It makes one wonder how hummingbirds survive where there are squirrels, bluejays, and orioles.
