David Sibley just released his latest work entitled What It's Like To Be A Bird. This volume contains short essays on the various aspects of what makes up birds’ lives. In his own words, "it is a selective and incomplete review of bird science."
The large format allows for life-sized portraits of the selected species. The introduction is filled with a myriad of interesting details of a bird's life. Following this are the stunning portraits with the essays illustrating some aspect of that bird.
This is a book to savor and learn about these creatures that bring so much to our lives.
