In What It's Like to Be a Bird by David Allen Sibley, the renowned naturalist compiles an enthralling portfolio of more than eighty birds—each entry includes interesting information and an impressive, full-page, roughly life-sized illustration of each bird. From the Mourning Dove, who sleeps with one eye open to watch for danger to the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, who slows down its body processes at night to conserve energy, Sibley highlights some of the most amazing aspects of bird biology and behavior. Whether you're a casual backyard birdwatcher or an avid birder, this gorgeous and compulsively browsable bird coffee table book will captivate and enlighten, from the first page to the last! 8.84" x 11.26"
