A beautifully illustrated dictionary of 26 birds.

Birds A to Z uses an accessible and successful format to describe a selection of 26 birds. Each page features two full-color photographs of the bird, one or two descriptive paragraphs and a fact box that provides at-a-glance details on each entry’s Latin name, diet, range, length, weight, wingspan and nest location.

The 26 birds are:

Anhinga Bluebird Chickadee Duck Egret Falcon Gallinule Hummingbird Ibis Jay Kingfisher Loon Meadowlark Nighthawk Owl Pelican Quail Raven Skimmer Tanager Upland sandpiper Vulture Woodpecker Xantus’ murrelet Yellowleg Zone-tailed hawk.

Accurate and up-to-date but with an informal presentation, Birds A to Z is an engaging view into the avian world.
