Our LaZer Focused Field Guide to the Hummingbirds of North America deals exclusively with a relatively short list of widely-revered species. More specifically, the guide aspires to two goals—helping people locate hummingbirds and helping them positively identify the ones they see. It best serves birders who want to earn their way to higher proficiency, and to do so expediently.
Aspiring to this lofty aim, this guide provides clearly labeled data to identify the most definitive physical features of each of the hummingbirds found in North America. Our LaZer Focused Field Guide provides the user with a complete list of salient focal features to use while attempting identify the birds they're likely to see.
We know the path to birding excellence involves the study of various aspects of the activity, other than the physical features of the species. We've included reference to the birds' life habits, habitat preferences,
migratory patterns, geographic locations and voices where relevant, with the goal of giving the user all the resources they need to both locate and positively identify as many of these species as possible.
As we see it, the problem with many of the reputable field guides currently used by novice birders lies in the copious amounts of detail they provide. Without a filter, many people get lost in the metaphorical weeds those details represent. More information doesn't necessarily create an easier path to excellence; a smaller amount of more important information serves most people more efficiently.
With this goal in mind, we've described the species in our guide using the least amount of relevant details we can, without sacrificing anything of significance. We've done so by identifying the features most relevant in identifying the species positively, relying primarily, but not exclusively, on their physical attributes. Accordingly, we've selected photographs which accurately capture the physical features in a manner which makes them most useful in the process. More importantly, we've also included direct comparisons of similar species, so the user can see them simultaneously, using clearly identified focal features labeled with red arrows, circles, asterisks, lines and other symbols.
Our goal is to provide a resource to help developing novice birders find and properly identify more hummingbirds, including the trickiest ones they can expect to see in these United States. On behalf of my partners Mel Cooksey and Dave Allen, I can honestly say we hope the people who support us in this endeavor by purchasing and using this guide will outgrow the need for it quickly. In that case, we all win!
