About this title

Synopsis

Birding is fast becoming America's number-one hobby. More and more bird lovers take to the woods, forests and jungles of the world every year. Anyone with even a passing interest in birds will enjoy this exhaustive reference book. Information on birds is expanding at an enormous rate and it is difficult to find it quickly in one source. This book is designed to provide quick answers to questions about speeds, ranges, flying altitudes, bird banding, preferred bird feed, recommended plantings to attract birds, bird ancestors, hot birding sites, domestication of birds, and migration data.

Besides a mammoth listing of bird species worldwide, The Bird Almanac includes detailed information on all aspects of avian physiology - including anatomy, reproduction, and disease—as well as a complete guide to all aspects of the ornithological community, from organizations and societies to resources on the Internet. This easy-access reference features line drawings, charts, tables, and lists of recommended gear.
