This special, large-format volume is geared as much to nonbirders as it is to the out-and-out obsessed, covering more than two hundred species and including more than 330 new illustrations by the author. While its focus is on familiar backyard birds--blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees--it also examines certain species that can be fairly easily observed, such as the seashore-dwelling Atlantic puffin. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDavid Sibley's exacting artwork and wide-ranging expertise bring observed behaviors vividly to life. (For most species, the primary illustration is reproduced life-sized.) And while the text is aimed at adults--including fascinating new scientific research on the myriad ways birds have adapted to environmental changes--it is nontechnical, making it the perfect occasion for parents and grandparents to share their love of birds with young children, who will delight in the big, full-color illustrations of birds in action. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnlike any other book he has written, \u003ci\u003eWhat It's Like to Be a Bird\u003c\/i\u003e is poised to bring a whole new audience to David Sibley's world of birds.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDAVID ALLEN SIBLEY is the author and illustrator of the series of successful guides to nature that bear his name, including \u003ci\u003eThe Sibley Guide to Birds\u003c\/i\u003e.
