"Regardless of one's reasons for watching birds, learning about their lives can greatly enhance the pleasure of watching their behavior--as well as markedly improve one's ability to identify them in the field. The new "Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavior" will help with both. Like Sibley's popular field guide, it will undoubtedly become a principal source to answer questions on avian taxonomy, habitat, behavior, and distribution. Sibley's numerous colored illustrations are alone, sufficient reason to purchase this guide, but in addition, it summarizes an impressive amount of useful information. The text is beautifully written and the chapters are consistently well organized. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in understanding the life and behavior of birds." --Dr. Wm. James Davis, editor of the Interpretive Birding Bulletin.

Synopsis
"Once in a great while, a natural history book changes the way people look at the world. In 1838, John ames Audubon'sBirds of Americawas one...In 1934, Roger Tory Peterson producedField Guide to the Birds...Now comesThe Sibley Guide to Birds." Thus didThe New York Times, in 1999, greet David Allen Sibley's monumental book, which has quickly been established nationwide as the peerless, standard bird identification guide. The Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavioris the new landmark book from David Allen Sibley. Designed to enhance the birding experience and to enrich the popular study of North American birds, the book combines more than 795 of his full-color illustrations with authoritative text by 48 expert birders and biologists. In this new guide Sibley takes us beyond identification, to show ushow birds live and what they do. Introductory essays outline the principles of avian evolution, life cycle, body structure, flight dynamics, and more. The 80 family-by-family chapters describe the amazing range of behavior dictated by birds' biology and environment. Among the subjects covered and illustrated are: --molts and plumages --habitats --food and foraging --vocalizations and displays --courtship and breeding --rearing of young --migration and movements --scientific groupings --introduced species --accidental species --anatomy --flight patterns --nests and eggs --conservation --global distribution Accessibly written, superbly designed and organized, and brilliantly illustrated,The Sibley Guide to Bird Life and Behavioris an indispensable source of information on the avian life around us.

    Sibleys guide to bird life and behavior

    Excellent. Will help with your “birding” and understanding of birds. You’ve got the field “ID” books...? So get this!

    Must have for library, too big to take to the field.

    Sibley is the best. I have other bird guides but this one includes bird behaviors as well as identification. A keystone addition to my birding library.

    gets across the info.

    It's so great to have more information than just the identification and probable location. Habits and behavior make birding fascinating. Don't just see the bird, learn about its life.

    Sibley Guide to Birds....

    If you are a novice birdwatcher, as I am, this book will introduce you to a world that most people undervalue or are unaware. Sibley writes in a conversational manner which I enjoy.
