Opis

Internationally celebrated nature writer Candace Savage presents the Corvid family- surprisingly bright, brassy, and colorful birds-in a remarkable collection of full-color, close-up photographs by some of the world's best wildlife photographers. Birds have long been viewed as the archetypal featherbrains-beautiful but dumb. But according to

-San Francisco Chronicle

"With powerful photographic documentation naturalist Candace Savage examines the lives and behaviors of the highly intelligent corvid family."
-Sierra

"Here is an excellent gathering of intelligence, expert opinion and bird observations, with color photos creating a lavish backdrop.'
