Bird Books

This natural history of birds contains life histories for 680 species that occur regularly in North America and shorter accounts for 130 others that visit occasionally. The book includes every important detail about the lives of the birds; what they eat, where they build their nest, how many eggs they lay, what habitat they choose, when they migrate, their current conservation status, and much more.

This natural history of birds goes well beyond field guides. It is not a guide for naming the birds but a reference for understanding them. It is a complete, handy, one-volume encyclopedia on the fascinating lives of our birds, the essential companion to your field guide.
