About this title

Synopsis

Our backyards are home to bird species that have adapted to thrive in close contact with human beings. This guide profiles common urban birds in western North America and was developed in collaboration with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, one of the world's leading institutions on bird life and behavior.

About the Authors

Zoologist Jim Kavanagh has made a career out of introducing novices to plants, animals, the sciences and world cultures. In addition to creating over 500 simplified nature guides, he has also authored guides to languages, cities and outdoor skills. An avid traveler and backpacker, Kavanagh's path has taken him around the world to many remote destinations including the upper Amazon, Africa, Australia, and the Arctic Circle (and this is just the As). He is also the author of a series of state-specific guides to common species and natural attractions and a children's book on evolution.
