"Is this the same cardinal that was at my feeder last year?" "Do robins 'hear' worms?" In "What It's Like to Be a Bird," David Sibley answers the most frequently asked questions about the birds we see most often. 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. David 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. Unlike any other book he has written, "What It's Like to Be a Bird" is poised to bring a whole new audience to David Sibley's world of birds." -- Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 598 Si Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 598 Si Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 598 Sibley Checked out 06/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 598 SIBLEY Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 598 Si Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 598 Si Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 598 Si Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 598 Si Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
