I have a book all about hummingbirds - their stories, their places and their people - coming out in early 2021 in the USA & Canada, published by @BasicBooks. But for now... #TheGlitterInTheGreen has a trailer! And a portal for pre-orders at basicbooks.com/titles/jon-du…

This is the book I am most excited about reading this year. Congratulations and what an utterly mesmerising subject.

That's lovely to hear, and so kind of you to take a moment to say as much, thank you Hannah. For my part, I'm really looking forward to 'Fledgling' next year - a subject close to my heart, and Ghana too as a fabulous bonus.

Looking forward to reading it. 2 of my best #hummingbird experiences: Two Red-tailed comet (Sappho sparganurus) in the Garganta del Diablo cave, nr. Salta, Argentina, and, on a tour of Alyeska Resort in Girdwood, Alaska, outside the window a Rufous hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus)

Definitely a must-buy this. Have to admit to being mesmerised by the little blighters.

Fascinating clip... had no idea there are such a range of hummers, over such expanses..Congratulations, Jon!! May have to add to the already teetering, 'to read' pile : )

I love the old coloured engravings of hummingbirds.
