Description:... All around us birds are going about their lives, offering us fascinating
insights into how they survive and interact with one another,
defending territories, courting mates, nesting, raising young, displaying,
preening, feeding, and more. The difference between noticing and
missing these secret lives is a little time, a relaxed mind, and some
curiosity.

in action are paired with engaging and informative descriptions of
behaviors that anyone might observe in the backyard or at a local park,
pond, or woodland. Her lighthearted writing style is a delight as the
