Seeing more birds than you ever imagined and witnessing exciting avian drama is possible--whether you're on the go or in your own neighborhood, local park, or backyard. As Heather Wolf explains, it all comes down to how you tune in to the show happening around you, the one in which birds--highly skilled at staying under the radar--are the stars. In Find More Birds, Heather shares her very best tactics--and the jaw-dropping photographs they helped her capture.
- Look for birds at their favorite "restaurants"-- from leaf litter to berry bushes, and ball fields to small patches of mud.
- Watch for "tree bark" that moves . . . you may find it has feathers.
- Try simply sitting on the ground for a revealing new perspective.
Plus, special tips point the way to crowd favorites such as hummingbirds, owls, and eagles--and can't-miss bird behaviors. As your senses sharpen and "noticing" becomes second nature, Find More Birds will turn your daily routines into bird-finding adventures, too. Whether you're strolling down the block or parking your car, you never know what will surprise you next!

"Her excitement is infectious.-- "CNN" Where you may see only pigeons, sparrows, and the occasional sea gull, [Heather Wolf] has recorded 130 species, many of which she has beautifully photographed.-- "The New York Times" Part of the pleasure of her book, besides excellent photography . . . is the way [Heather Wolf] shares the circumstances and excitement of particular sightings.-- "The Wall Street Journal" In clear and enthusiastic prose, Wolf draws attention to the remarkable variety of urban birds and their ongoing conservation challenges. . . . This beginner's guide is as entertaining as it is informative.-- "Publishers Weekly" Exquisite.-- "am New York" An informative field diary.-- "The Atlantic's CityLab" Partly a bird guide, partly a memoir, and partly a triumph of nature photography.-- "The New Yorker" I totally love Heather Wolf's book: great photographs, and delightful, incisive writing.--Marie Winn, author of Red-Tails in Love
