"Whether you are an experienced birder or just learning natural
history, this book will deepen your sense of place and open
insights to beauty, wonder, and connection to the natural
world."-John Muir Laws, author of The Laws Field Guide to the
Sierra Nevada Now in paperback! This charming, full-color field
guide to 25 birds easily found in Berkeley proves that even the
city's avian residents are a little quirky. Meticulously detailed
illustrations capture each bird's distinctive physicality and
temperament. A Burrowing Owl faces you in a full head-on shot,
perhaps having just raised its raspy, chattering alarm call as you
trespass on its last remaining Bay Area foothold at the Marina. The
Anna's Hummingbird gives you a coy backward glance to assess if
you've properly admired its flashing throat feathers, maybe having
just performed its signature J-shaped courtship dive. While
descriptions of identification and vocalizations are
straightforward, author-illustrator Oliver James takes a
delightfully creative approach to his write-ups of each species. A
joy to read and pore over, Birds of Berkeley will enchant readers
far beyond the city limits with its findings gleaned from
painstaking and patient wildlife observation.
