The Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavior
David Allen Sibley
With nearly 800 full-color illustrations and articles from dozens of birders and biologists, The Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavior (Knopf, $45) picks up where the well-received Sibley Guide to Birds left off, showing how birds pass their time on Earth. Covering such subjects as food and foraging, courtship and breeding, migration and movement, the new guide from David Sibley is as compendious as it is lucid.
