Hummingbirds Calendar 2004 (Calendar)

A jewel-toned hummingbird is poised elegantly at a flower, seemingly motionless even as its purring wings trace perpetual figure eights. Ounce for ounce the Hercules among birds, yet small enough to get lost in a teacup, hummers spend their days tirelessly darting among flowers, probing for calorie-rich nectar with their needlelike bills. Whether viewed as animated energy or nature's still life, no two organisms are more perfectly suited to each other than hummingbirds and flowers. In Hummingbirds 2004, celebrate one of nature's most successful partnerships as world-renowned wildlife photographers chronicle this harmonious marriage between bird and blossom.
