Bird Behavior and Biology...Great Stuff!!

Though a few years old, this book is a wonderful explanation of everything avian. A mixture of behavior, ecology and physiology, The Lives of Birds integrates these diciplines seamlessly and in an enjoyable way. In his explanations of how various birds are adapted to their environment Short is careful to avoid the tiresome and dopey teleology that passes for wisdom from many nature journalists (for a quick example, see PBS's "Nature"). If only my college texts were written so lucidly!

A facinating, very readable book from an excellent author

An excellent, readable book packed with stories from the curator of birds at the best natural history museum in the country. I'd taken a college Ornithology course only a few years ago and this book had many new things for me!
