Peterson Reference Guide to Bird Behavior (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A "captivating, informative, and often amusing" look at what birds do and why they do it (Booklist). Both casual and serious bird watchers can take their skills to the next level with this detailed consideration of bird behavior. This book makes it possible to move beyond identifying birds to understanding some of the underpinning and meaning of what birds do, how they do it, and why. Written in an easy-to-understand style, with an abundance of photos illustrating the behaviors, the book shows how flight, molt, migration, feeding, predation, social dynamics, courtship, and nesting shape birds' actions. Birds are everywhere and easy to observe; this introduction to elements of bird behavior will connect readers more intimately with these remarkable and beguilingly perceptive animals.
