Reseña del editor:

Brimming with stories, wisdom, and expert knowledge, this delightful book gives enthusiasts a peek into the private worlds of eleven North American birds: swallows, blue jays, chickadees, song sparrows, house sparrows, phoebes, mockingbirds, crows, red-winged blackbirds, robins, and hummingbirds. Calvin Simonds shows you how to really observe these birds -- how to interpret the caws of crows, recognize blue jays from their facial markings, understand the flight patterns of swallows. You'll be enthralled as you eavesdrop on a group of sparrows trading songs in a "hootenanny," feel the dry grip of a chickadee's claws on your fingers, tramp through a summer meadow to visit a phoebe, and much more.

Contraportada:

The best thing to happen to bird lovers since binoculars!

Have you ever seen a mockingbird do its dance of defiance inches away from a cat? Or watched a wintering flock of chickadees claim a backyard bird feeder as their own? In Private Lives of Garden Birds, Calvin Simonds teaches you how to become a silent observer of the extraordinary habits of birds. You'll learn to interpret the different caws of crows, you'll discover how to tell which red-winged blackbird is likely to have a single mate and which one will have a harem, and if you're really lucky, you may even witness an aerial dogfight between two male hummingbirds.
