About the Author:
From Booklist:
Laura Erickson is the author of seven bird books, including The Bird Watching Answer Book, and is co-author of Into the Nest. She has served as an editor of Bird Scope magazine and a columnist and contributing editor for Birdwatching magazine and she contributed editorial content for the All About Birds website. She also writes and produces a daily radio segment about birds. She lives in Duluth, Minnesota.
Probably millions of Americans participate in bird-watching. All birders have to start somewhere, and this new entry in the Storey Answer Book series is an excellent choice for the novice and not-so-novice. Erikson is a science editor at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, and with the imprimatur of this well-known institution, the reader is assured of accurate information. Dividing the book into three parts—For the Birds: Feeding, Watching and Protecting Our Feathered Friends; Bird Brains: Avian Behavior and Intelligence; and All about Birds, Inside and Out—Erikson organizes a vast amount of bird biology and behavior into manageable snippets. Using a familiar question-and-answer format, the author covers such broad topics as feeding birds and bird migration. Liberally sprinkled throughout the book are boxed factoids, such as why birds can perch on power lines without getting electrocuted; and blue-tinted pages cover interesting topics in greater detail. Lovely line drawings by Pedro Fernandez complete a very nice book. --Nancy Bent

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There are more than 76 million birdwatchers in America - from casual backyard observers to seasoned birders. At some point, every bird-watcher has a question not answered in traditional field guides. How many feathers does a bird have? Do birds sleep while in flight? When such questions arise, birders turn to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the world's leading authority on birds and an information clearinghouse for bird-watchers of all levels. Now, the lab's most often-asked questions about bird behavior are answered in a concise, friendly volume, "The Bird Watching Answer Book," by the Cornell Lab's science editor, Laura Erickson. This handy little reference answers real life questions that have been sent to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology by birders of all levels from across North America. Erickson's expert answers give readers the companionship of a professional ornithologist as they observe their avian companions. The book's tone is friendly and accessible, even as the answers demonstrate a tremendous depth and breadth of knowledge. Many questions help birders keep their feathered friends safe and healthy - from the baby bird found lying on the sidewalk, to the flocks whose migration patterns can be disrupted by human activity. Some questions address bird quirks and curiosities, while others get to the truth about common myths, such as whether throwing rice at weddings is harmful to birds or whether albatrosses can actually stay airborne for two years. For every question, Erickson provides an answer that is practical, engaging, entertaining, and astute. Birdwatching enthusiasts often turn to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for answers to their most pressing birding questions. Now, the lab's most often asked questions about bird behavior are answered in a concise, friendly volume.
