About this listen

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?

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.

very interesting
