Inhaltsangabe

An introduction to the fascinating world of bird behavior, Secret Lives of Common Birds explores many of the important activities of the familiar birds we see every day. Engaging descriptions of behaviors through the seasons are illustrated with stunning photographs of birds in action from a robin enjoying a bathtime splash at the edge of a pond, to a warbler weaving a tiny nest from delicate grasses and plant down, to a chickadee hovering for a brief instant to sip from a melting icicle on a winter's day.
