Publisher's Synopsis
Our lives intertwine with birds like no other wild creature. Every day birds warm our hearts, inspire our curiosity, and appeal to our sense of wonder. Close to Birds brings us even nearer to our feathered friends. Roine Magnusson's photographs capture the beauty and detail of each bird's form, as well as their unique character and personality. Mats and Åsa Ottosson's short essays share charming and often-hidden details from birds' lives--from the reason why robins sing so early in the morning to the science behind the almost magical iridescence of mallard feathers. Close to Birds shares the irresistible joy and marvel of birds.
