520 |a June Osborne paints a fully detailed portrait of perhaps the best-known hummingbird in the United States, the rubythroat. Drawing from her own birdwatching experiences and journals, she offers an "up close and personal" look at a female rubythroat building her nest and rearing young, as well as an account of a day in the life of a male rubythroat and stories of the hummers' amazing migrations between their summer breeding grounds in the United States and Canada and their winter homes in Mexico and Central America. 
520 8 |a In addition to this life history, Osborne recounts early hummingbird sightings by New World explorers and colonists and tells how the bird received its common and scientific names. After a general overview of hummingbirds' distinctive ways of feeding, flying, and conserving energy, she offers a detailed description of the rubythroat that will help you tell females from males, immature birds from adults, and rubythroats from similar species.
