A Guide to the Behavior of Common Birds |
Author: Donald W. Stokes
This guide invites bird-watchers to explore a whole new way of looking at birds: behavior watching.

Focusing on twenty-five birds common to backyard, city park, and countryside, naturalist Donald Stokes introduces us to the complex patterns of birds' social behavior and communication, translating them into a language we can understand. Three types of detailed information helps us discover and interpret a bird's behavior in the field. |
