Peterson Reference Guide to Bird Behavior
by John Kricher
From Houghton Mifflin Harcourt:
A fascinating look at what birds do and why they do it
Both casual and serious birdwatchers can take their skills to the next level with this detailed consideration of bird behavior. This book makes it possible to move beyond identifying birds to understanding some of the underpinning and meaning to what birds do, how they do it, and why they do it. Written in an easy-to-understand style, with an abundance of photos illustrating the behaviors, the book shows how flight, molt, migration, feeding, predation, social behavior, courtship, and nesting shape birds’ behaviors. Birds are everywhere, and easy to observe; this introduction to elements of bird behavior will connect readers more intimately with these remarkable and beguilingly perceptive animals.
Another fabulous entry in the Peterson Reference Guide series. This year will see more than a few books published on bird behavior, but I would be surprised if any will be an better overall introduction to this topic.
