About The Book

The bird book for birders and nonbirders alike that will excite and inspire by providing a new and deeper understanding of what common, mostly backyard, birds are doingand why: Can birds smell Is this the same cardinal that was at my feeder last year Do robins 'hear' wormsThe book's beauty mirrors the beauty of birds it describes so marvelously. NPRIn What It's Like to Be a Bird, David Sibley answers the most frequently asked questions about the birds we see most often. This special, large-format volume is geared as much to nonbirders as it is to the out-and-out obsessed, covering more than two hundred species and including more than 330 new illustrations by the author. While its focus is on familiar backyard birdsblue jays, nuthatches, chickadeesit also examines certain species that can be fairly easily observed, such as the seashore-dwelling Atlantic puffin.David Sibley's exacting artwork and wide-ranging expertise bring observed behaviors vividly to life. (For most species, the primary illustration is reproduced life-sized.) And while the text is aimed at adultsincluding fascinating new scientific research on the myriad ways birds have adapted to environmental changesit is nontechnical, making it the perfect occasion for parents and grandparents to share their love of birds with young children, who will delight in the big, full-color illustrations of birds in action.Unlike any other book he has written, What It's Like to Be a Bird is poised to bring a whole new audience to David Sibley's world of birds.
