Description

Jennifer Ackerman knows what she s talking about...Her knack for catching the personalities of different species in gorgeous, playful prose further collapses comfortable barriers between the human and the birdlike Daily Telegraph

The real joy of [this] book is its close attention to some of the specialists of the region... Ackerman is alive to the humour at play in field research Mark Cocker, Spectator

It s flight and egg and feathers and song. It s the demure plumage of a mountain thornbill and the extravagant tail feathers of an Indian paradise flycatcher, the solo song of a superb lyrebird and the perfectly timed duets of canebrake wrens, an osprey s hurtling dive toward the sea, and a long-legged heron s still, patient eyeing of the dark water.

There is no single bird way of being.

Drawing on personal observations, the latest science, and her bird-related travel around the world, Jennifer Ackerman playfully explores our dramatically shifting understanding of these magnificent animals.
