这本面向观鸟者和非观鸟者的鸟类书籍将通过提供一个新的、更深入的理解来激发和激励人们，了解鸟类正在做什么，主要是在后院——以及为什么“鸟能闻?”“这就是去年在我的喂食器里的那只红衣主教吗?”“知更鸟能听到虫子吗?”在《做鸟的感觉》一书中，大卫·西布利回答了关于我们最常看到的鸟的一些最常被问到的问题。这本特别的大画幅书既面向非观鸟爱好者，也面向彻头彻尾的观鸟迷，涵盖了200多种鸟类，包括作者新绘制的330多幅插图。虽然它的重点是人们熟悉的后院鸟类——蓝鸟、茅草鸟、山雀——但它也考察了一些很容易观察到的物种，比如生活在海边的大西洋海雀。David Sibley严谨的艺术作品和广泛的专业知识将观察到的行为生动地呈现在生活中。(对于大多数物种来说，原图的大小与实际大小相当。)虽然文本是针对成年人,包括迷人的新的科学研究鸟类适应环境变化的各种途径,非技术,使其父母和祖父母的完美机会与孩子分享他们的爱的鸟类,谁将在大喜悦,全彩插图的鸟类。不同于他写过的任何其他书，《做鸟的感觉》将大卫·西布利的鸟的世界带给全新的读者。

The bird book for birders and nonbirders alike that will excite and inspire by providing a new and deeper understanding of what common, mostly backyard, birds are doing--and why "Can birds smell?" "Is this the same cardinal that was at my feeder last year?" "Do robins 'hear' worms?" In What It's Like to Be a Bird, David Sibley answers the most frequently asked questions about the birds we see most often. This special, large-format volume is geared as much to nonbirders as it is to the out-and-out obsessed, covering more than two hundred species and including more than 330 new illustrations by the author. While its focus is on familiar backyard birds--blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees--it also examines certain species that can be fairly easily observed, such as the seashore-dwelling Atlantic puffin. David Sibley's exacting artwork and wide-ranging expertise bring observed behaviors vividly to life. (For most species, the primary illustration is reproduced life-sized.) And while the text is aimed at adults--including fascinating new scientific research on the myriad ways birds have adapted to environmental changes--it is nontechnical, making it the perfect occasion for parents and grandparents to share their love of birds with young children, who will delight in the big, full-color illustrations of birds in action. Unlike any other book he has written, What It's Like to Be a Bird is poised to bring a whole new audience to David Sibley's world of birds.
