Birds of Forest Yard, and Thicket

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 behaviours 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 nontechnical language how the birds nests, mates, and rears its brood in spring to how the bird survives in winter. Each bird's evolutionary adaptations, place in culture history, and name origin also appear.
