Everywhere we go there are birds, and they all have mysteries to be
unravelled. These mysteries include the way they look, from bizarre
to apparently mundane, why they live where they live, and the
things they do, many of which are far too incredible ever to be
imagined as fiction. Birds in Their Habitats is a collection of
stories and experiences, which introduce fascinating aspects of
birdlife, ecology and behaviour. Informed by a wealth of historical
and contemporary research, Ian Fraser takes the reader on a journey
through four continents: from places as unfamiliar as the Chonos
Archipelago of southern Chile and the arid Sahel woodlands of
northern Cameroon to those as familiar as a suburban backyard. This
is a book of discovery of birds and the places they live. And with
humour and personal insight, it is a book about the sometimes
strange world of the people who spend a life absorbed in birds.
FEATURES: Engaging and entertaining text written by one of
Australia's best natural history writers. This 'birding travelogue'
will take readers on a journey of discovery through the far-flung
habitats and fascinating birds of the world. Contains an
illustrated section with colour photographs showcasing the
incredible diversity of bird species and their habitats.
