Follow the seasons with Dr. Blough in this new science nature book while he discusses bird menus, bird feeders, bird migrations, bird banding, and the equipment needed by the beginning ornithologist. He tells what to look for and points the way to wonderful discoveries that can be made about birds if you listen carefully, get as close as you can, look as long as you can, and see as much as you can.

Jeanne Bendick's brightly colored drawings make identification of the fifty state birds, and much more, simple and fun!
