by John Eastman

On This Page

Description

"Birds of field and shore picks up where typical field guides leave off: Once you know a bird's name, you want to learn its nearest kin, the behaviors you're likely to see, and the best times for observing it. Emphasizing ecological niches, John Eastman describes 42 common grassland and shoreline birds--from the Ring-necked Pheasant to the Spotted Sandpiper--and the plants and animals associated with their native surroundings. Species entries proceed by season, explaining in nontechnical show more language how each bird nests, mates, feeds, and migrates; evolutionary adaptations, name origins, nature lore, and detailed illustrations accompany species accounts.
