Birds of Forest, Yard, & Thicket

Very good used paperback. Out of Print. Scarce. Previous owner's blind stamp on title page.

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 behaviors 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 non-technical language how the bird nests, mates, and rears its brood in spring, to how the bird survives in winter. Each bird's evolutionary adaptations, place in cultural history, and name origin also appear.
