This book makes it possible to move beyond identifying birds to understanding some of the underpinning and meaning to what birds do, how they do it, and why they do it. Written in an easy-to-understand style, with an abundance of photos illustrating the behaviors, the book shows how flight, molt, migration, feeding, predation, social behavior, courtship, and nesting shape birds' behaviors. Birds are everywhere, and easy to observe; this introduction to elements of bird behavior will connect readers more intimately with these remarkable and beguilingly perceptive animals.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJOHN KRICHER is professor emeritus of biology at Wheaton College, where for forty-eight years he taught ecology, ornithology, and vertebrate evolution.
