For each different bird, its nest is described and where it's built, the eggs and their color and size, the bird's appearance, and its distinctive songs and habits. Many of the birds are from the United States, with several other interesting birds covered from around the globe. For nature lovers young and old!With updated information from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the National Audubon Society, and Encyclopedia Britannica, regarding species information and nesting areas of today, and providing more data pertaining to North and South America instead of mostly the US.
