Bald Coot and Screaming Loon eBook Description

You don't have to be a dedicated birdwatcher to be a bird lover. Millions of us love the sight and sound of them and delight in the fact that wherever we are in the world, even in the desert or the Arctic, we are surrounded by birds. And yet even the most educated among us know very little about their remarkable behaviour, incredible diversity and the story of their evolution. While worthy tomes provide information about habitat, appearance, feeding, number of eggs laid and so forth, very few have succeeded in conveying the magic and mystery of birds. Why is it that only male birds sing? . . . If birds have such small brains, how come they know where to go when migrating thousands of miles? . . . Are birds really descended from dinosaurs? . . . How do birds have sex? This handbook sets about answering every interesting question there is to ask about birds. There are over 10,000 species in the world, including over 500 in Britain, some rare and endangered, some bizarre and beautiful, others common and familiar. As this captivating and often humorous handbook reveals, all of them are fascinating when we stop to peer into their truly curious world.
