Summary

In One Wild Bird at a Time, Heinrich returns to his great love: close, day-to-day observations of individual wild birds. Heinrich's observations lead to fascinating questions - and sometimes startling discoveries. A great crested flycatcher bringing food to the young acts surreptitiously and is attacked by the mate. Why? A pair of northern flickers hammering their nest-hole into the side of Heinrich's cabin delivers the opportunity to observe the feeding competition between siblings and to make a related discovery about nest cleaning. One of a clutch of redstart warbler babies fledges out of the nest from 20 feet above the ground and lands on the grass below. It can't fly. What will happen next?

very interesting

I really love Bernd Heinrich's writing and my absolute favorite book of his has to be the double biography called The snoring bird!!! I really like to be able to experience how scientists work through his work and he writes beautiful nature descriptions too. My only negative is everything becomes a little too detailed sometimes, he counts stuff a lot, but that is his job and his passion. being only a very enthusiastic bird enthusiast the counting some times is just a little bit too much.
