Robert Mathewson, Curator of Science at the Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences, builds the text around questions about nest construction, seasonal migration, feather anatomy and feeding adaptations, w/ full-color plates and monochrome field drawings by wildlife artists Walter Ferguson and Ned Smith.
