- Synopsis
- From the lifelong devotion of the American crow to the dalliances of the eastern bluebird, from the bald eagle&’s dazzling aerial display to the male ruby-throated hummingbird&’s reputation as a &“deadbeat dad&” — courtship, mating, and parenting differ dramatically among birds. Ornithologist and author Laura Erickson takes readers on a romance-fueled romp through the love lives of 35 species, exploring the diversity of avian approaches to pairing up. Each species spotlight pairs Erickson&’s remarkable depth of scientific knowledge with her talent for drawing humorous and insightful parallels between human and bird. The result is a riveting read for bird-watchers and nature lovers alike.
