Nobody has counted every bird, of course, but scientists believe there are about a hundred billion of them in the world. In that tremendous feathered crowd, there is an amazing assortment - the ostrich that may weigh three hundred pounds, and the tiny hummingbird that weighs a good deal less than the letter on which you stick a three-cent stamp.
In All About Birds, Robert Lemmon has given a remarkable overall story of birds to show their similarities and differences, their amazing habits and believe-it-or-not achievements. Throughout the book he tells of specific birds - how to identify them and study them as a scientist, and how to make friends with them as a neighbor. Delightfully illustrated. |
