The book also marks the 100th anniversary of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, a world leader in the study, appreciation, and conservation of birds. Captured in terrain both exotic and familiar--the Yukon Delta, a woods in Arkansas, a remote village in Russia's Arctic, and even urban Seattle--Vyn's remarkable photographs illustrate nearly 100 North American bird species. The exhilaration of migratory Whooping Cranes, the fragility of the endangered Spoon-Billed Sandpiper, and the wide-eyed beauty of Great Horned Owls all come alive on the page. From enjoying backyard Black-capped Chickadees and Yellow Warblers, to wondering over a Pileated Woodpecker, or to admiring the powerful soar of a Gyrfalcon, The Living Bird educates and inspires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword by Barbara Kingsolver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 250 images by acclaimed wildlife photographer Gerrit Vyn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssays by Jared Diamond, John W.
