Whether on a birdfeeder or on the tree just outside your window, spotting a vibrant avian friend always brings a moment of pleasure, From the experts at the National Audubon Society, this calendar celebrates the birds that are so familiar - yet always such a joy to see. Each month is packed with beautiful sightings, from the large full-colour photograph at the top of the page to the dozens more in the grid below. One month, a Curve-billed Thrasher perches on a cactus. Another, a Downy Woodpecker prepares to hammer out his dinner from an aspen tree. And a pair of Broad-tailed Hummingbirds sips nectar from scarlet flowers. Accompanying the gorgeous photographs are detailed descriptions of the featured species, plus fascinating information and facts about their behaviour, habitats, and more. New plastic-free packaging!
