About This Book

An elder narrator addresses a group of children in a sequence of illustrated, child-focused natural history tales that profile different kinds of birds. Each chapter centers on a species or group—large birds of prey, ospreys and sea-eagles, vultures, falcons and hawking, owls, herons and waders, ostrich-like and running birds, and parrots—and mixes anatomical and behavioral description with anecdotal episodes showing feeding, nesting, migration, instinct, and human encounters. The pieces aim to inform and amuse, emphasizing the habits and adaptations that enable each bird to survive while inviting young readers to observe and appreciate avian life.
