Fourteen birds are introduced with color illustrations (but no photographs); a simple description of their colors, bird song, nest, and eggs; and a few interesting facts (a robin can eat fourteen feet of worms in a day, for instance). Beginning bird watchers will appreciate the instructions for making a blind, a bird bath, and a simple feeder. English units are used throughout, but a metric conversion table is included. Bib., ind.
