Publisher's Synopsis
Part of the "Windows on the World" series, this book provides a "bird's-eye" view of life on the wing, describing the mechanics of flight and showing how birds find their food, choose their mates, build their nests and raise their young. This book covers subjects ranging from the hunting skills of the majestic eagle to the strange dance of the African crowned cane, the high-flying vulture to the flightless kiwi, the tiny bee hummingbird to the massive ostrich.
