In this short book, ornithologist Mark E. Hauber shows readers exactly how birds spend their time. Each of the book's twenty-four brief chapters covers a single bird and a single hour. At 1:00 in the night, we meet a nearly-blind kiwi, hunting with smell for earthworm prey. Later that morning, at 11:00, we float alongside a common pochard, a duck that can sleep with one eye open to avoid predators and bumping into other birds. At 8:00 that evening, we spot a hawk able to swallow bats whole in mid-flight, gorging on up to fifteen in rapid succession before retreating into the darkness. For each chapter, award-winning artist Tony Angell has depicted these scenes with his signature linocut-style illustrations-which grow increasingly light and then dark as our bird day passes"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 137-144) and index. 650 0 $a Birds $x Behavior. 700 1 $a Angell, Tony, $e illustrator. 941 $a 2 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314030209.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125012643.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=813B1976959711EE9165B88051ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
