    [synopsis] => See the intimate lives of birds as never before! Laura Erikson and Marie Read document the family lives of more than 50 common North American birds through breathtaking close-up photography. Stunning images of hummingbirds, owls, tanagers, and more showcase different stages of avian development and capture the loving bond that exists within each bird family. Bird enthusiasts of all feathers will cherish these beautiful images of courting, nest construction, eggs, nestlings, feeding time, and much more. Documentary photography and intriguing facts provide a close encounter with the domestic lives of North American birds found in backyards, city neighborhoods, forests, fields, and waterways, from first flirtation to the final fledgling's departure from the nest.
