Product Description:

Birds of Forest, Yard, and Thicket picks up where typical field guides leave off: once you know a bird's name, you want to learn its nearest kin, the behaviours you're likely to see, and the best times for observing it. In this richly illustrated book, each species entry proceeds by season, explaining in nontechnical language how the birds nests, mates, and rears its brood in spring to how the bird survives in winter. Each bird's evolutionary adaptations, place in culture history, and name origin also appear

Book Description:

An unusual collection of curious facts about our feathered friends, this book describes the fascinating behaviors and physiology of birds of all shapes and sizes-from the birds in cities to the wild birds in rainforests, deserts, plains, and coastal regions. Topics discussed include bird evolution and why some came to be flightless, why some birds have well-developed senses and memory, the wide diversity of courtship rituals and territorial displays, and the art of nest building. In short, Birds explains why these creatures do the things that they do, so that people can more fully enjoy and understand the birds they see every day. Supplemented with arresting photography, this is a marvelous companion for the curious birdwatcher, the serious student of biology, and for any nature or bird lover.
