Endangered Hummingbirds Wins 2026 American Legacy Book Award in Nonfiction

I’m honored to share that Endangered Hummingbirds: Seeing the Crisis Through My Lens has received its second award from the 2026 American Legacy Book Award in Nonfiction.

This recognition is meaningful because it highlights the lasting relevance of the book beyond its initial release. The American Legacy Book Awards were created to recognize books that continue to remain impactful, current, and important over time.

Endangered Hummingbirds was created to document species living on narrow margins, hummingbirds restricted to small ranges, fragile habitats, and isolated ecosystems where change happens quickly and often irreversibly.

The challenges facing these species do not fade after a book’s release. Habitat loss, climate change, and environmental pressure continue to reshape their future in real time. This award reinforces the importance of keeping these stories visible and relevant.

I’m grateful for this recognition and for the continued support of this work.

$5 from every book sold supports hummingbird conservation efforts.
