This book is a glorious collection of photographs from the Gottlieb Native Garden, an urban oasis for hummingbirds, created by Dan and Susan Gottlieb at their home in Los Angeles.

With its intimate portraits of these tiny birds, showing all their intense coloring and delicate feather patterns, Hummingbirds of the Gottlieb Native Garden takes the reader inside their high-speed world to see them up close for the few moments they are at rest.
