Birds in Love: The Secret Courting & Mating Rituals of Extraordinary Birds

Birds do it…,
This unusual photographer has captured birds in their complex and dramatic mating behavior. Each species is accompanied by a brief account that describes the species, how the mating fits into its life, and the circumstances under which the photographer was able to find and record them. Wildlife behavior is notoriously difficult to document, and he and his wife have done not only an accurate and revealing but also a beautiful job. This book will be included in the reference for my next book, How to Raise Poultry, to follow How To Raise Chickens: Everything You Need To Know (How to Raise…) in Spring 2009.
