Great reading!!!

This is a really fun book to read. Its full of short essays on a variety of topics that we often wonder about. Its broken into a couple of chapters and a few of the topics in each: Birdwatching (with topis like definition of a birder, magic moments with the birds, tools of the trade), birds in the backyard (weird nesting sites, housing crunch for birds, pesticides and birds, a striking problem), basic bird biology (can birds smell, how birds beat the winter chill, why do birds change their feathers, do birds really mate for life), Birds we've come to love (bluejays, why hummingbirds hum, redpolls, canada goose)That's just a little of what is in here. Its just such a neat book, and an easy read. You can read an essay then put the book down and go do things then come back and pick up another essay. I really enjoy it and plan to give it as gifts next christmas

A good read...

This book is an insightful look into the world of birds. Each chapter or section is short and easy to read. Very enjoyable and fun to read, while at the same time, very factual. If you have ever wondered why a bird did a certain thing, or which is the best bird feeder to buy, this book is just the ticket!
