Items related to The Little Book of Birding
The Little Book of Birding encapsulates our fascination and relationship with wild birds. This book invites us to explore and participate in their cycle of life. Bird-watching expert George Harrison provides more than a glimpse into the unpredictable and often humorous avian world. Experienced bird watchers will recognize with delight the insight he imparts. They will also recognize themselves, albeit with some embarrassment, in the humorous photographs, which show to what lengths some people will go in their obsession with birds. Together, text and photographs combine to create the perfect portrait of how our lives are enriched daily by the presence of wild birds.

Review:
Like the Little Book of Flyfishing, The Little Book of Birding is a fine complement to a very small coffee table. While there are few birdwatching tips--in fact, sparse text at all--the color photos are often memorable (to birders, at least) and the overall tone is as amiable as can be. Inside, you'll find funny-looking screech owls, a pair of bright cardinals in a snowstorm, a catbird taking a bath--not to mention the birdwatchers, bundled up in winter, studying their field guides, straining upward to catch a glimpse of tree-top warblers.
From the Inside Flap:
Spectacular full-color photographs with startling clarity uniquely capture the allure of birding. As much about birders as birds themselves, The Little Book of Birding is a joyous celebration of our feathered friends and the folds who follow them. Close-ups of winged creatures, from a fat white-tailed ptarmigan to an inquisitive bluebird and elegant snow geese in flight, are complemented by photographer Harrison's delightful commentary on this popular hobby. This gem of a book shares the wonder of a birder--armed solely with telescope or camera--observing their subjects in their natural settings, and will be enjoyed by novice and professional alike.
