Product Description
In this book the story of 327 birds unfolds in 400 brilliantly colorful pages. Here are the secrets of their lives, their courting rituals, the battles royal that establish their territories - all told with the freshness of discovery that Audubon felt whenever a species new to science took wing before his eyes. General chapters explain the miracle of flight, the changing colors of plumage, why some eggs are white and others colored or spotted. You witness spring excitement in the bird's life cycle - migrating, mating, nesting, raising a family. You learn how to attract birds to your garden, and keep pesky squirrels from the feeder. No other book of birds portrays in true color all 327 species in their natural habitats, and describes them in encyclopedic detail with 130,000 words of zestful text. Also included is Bird Songs of Garden Woodland and Meadow. Birds brighten our gardens, woodlands and meadows with lilting song most richly when the land renews itself-when songsters herald their mating season. This album captures those rhapsodies for year round listening pleasure. Six high-fidelity, long-wearing vinyl records take you on 12 bird walks from New England to California and introduce you to the songs of 70 American birds in their natural settings.
