About This Book
A sequence of short, child-friendly lessons introduces common bird species and their identifying features, and describes songs, nest construction, eggs, the growth and feeding of young, sleeping habits, seasonal foods and migrations, waterfowl, birds of prey, and dangers they face. Each chapter combines clear, simple text with practical advice for careful observation and record-keeping, showing how to tell similar species apart, how to inspect nests without harming them, and why insect-eating birds are valuable, using accessible explanations and illustrations to encourage hands-on study of bird life.
