"A tiny bird, flying in place—a flash of color. A hummingbird hovers among the flowers. Then, in an instant, it is gone."
See hummingbirds dive, fly, and chase each other in slow motion. Hear the sound of a hovering hummingbird’s wings. Watch a female hummingbird build her nest. Witness the hatching of a hummingbird chick. Hover: Hummingbirds in the United States is an interactive, visual exploration of the nearby, but mostly hidden, world of hummingbirds. Intended for all ages, Hover is a high-interest low-reading level (hi-lo) multi-touch book designed for the iPad and iPhone.
Naturalist Mahar and photographer Strich have spent years observing and recording the hummingbird's daily life. Their stunning photography and video footage, accompanied by clear and concise descriptive text, provide rich information about the hummingbird’s body, its habits, its life cycle, and the 13 species that regularly nest in the United States.
