Overview
FEATURING A FOREWORD BY LEGENDARY WILDLIFE ARTIST ROBERT BATEMAN
Blending beautiful illustrations, guidebook facts and spirited memoir, Birds of a Feather shares the delightful charm of backyard birds—and reminds us that even birds of ordinary feathers are worth protecting.
Every stray feather was once shed by a bird—and for every feather he’s found, naturalist Don Gunn has a story about the species it belongs to. In Birds of a Feather, Gunn weaves together personal anecdotes, natural history and elegant illustrations to create a colorful portrait of North America’s backyard birds. Whether he’s fending off a great-horned owl attack, attempting to lure in a troublesome peacock with a penchant for cheese, or simply enjoying the antics of the sparrows, thrushes and juncos at his bird feeder, Gunn captures the lively spirit of his feathered neighbors with the passion of a long-time birder.
