This irresistible illustrated guide will take you around the world to meet the fascinating feathered creatures that populate our planet. From albatrosses that drink sea water and spend months without setting foot on the ground to hummingbirds so small they weigh less than a penny, the bird world is full of astonishing animals. Filled with fascinating information on every aspect of avian life, every page of Bird Anatomy is a delightful glimpse into the wonder of nature. You’ll learn how birds fly, build their nests, forage or hunt, and explore some of their most extraordinary behaviors, such as the stunning architecture of a weaverbird’s nest or the Bald Eagles’ daring courtship dance.
Whether you’re a dedicated bird watcher with the high-powered binoculars to prove it or you couldn’t tell a flamingo from a flycatchter, Rothman’s vivid, whimsical illustrations will inspire, leaving you with a little more wonder and appreciation for the natural world.
