Or on Our Shelves...For bird lovers, we recommend three absolutely stunning books.
Dominic Couzens' Extreme Birds walks the reader through four categories of birds from all around the world. A spectacular photo of each bird is accompanied by concise, one-page text. The format makes this book a great choice for families.
Bird: the Definitive Visual Guide, an Audubon offering, is also a good choice for families looking to learn more. Flight, anatomy, feeding, communication, breeding, habitat, migration and life cycles are discussed in detail; nearly 1500 species are identified.
For the bird watcher or conservationist in you, don't miss Out of the Woods by self-taught naturalist Ora E. Anderson (1911-2006). Anderson's expressive essays speak to the gentle pleasures of wandering the woods and connecting one's own spirit to the spirit of nature.
