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 birds--blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees--it also examines certain species that can be fairly easily observed, such as the seashore-dwelling Atlantic puffin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDavid 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 adults--including fascinating new scientific research on the myriad ways birds have adapted to environmental changes--it 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnlike any other book he has written, \u003ci\u003eWhat It's Like to Be a Bird\u003c\/i\u003e is poised to bring a whole new audience to David Sibley's world of birds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Allen Sibley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Sibley Guides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.1lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.60w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307957894","brand":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42441497870473,"sku":"9780307957894","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_1abd1f48-0e3f-41d1-b121-e80d08541d21.jpg?v=1716244200","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/what-its-like-to-be-a-bird-from-flying-to-nesting-eating-to-singing-what-birds-are-doing-and-why-9780307957894","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
