Do you know backyard birds?

Do you see them? Can you hear them?

They're the backyard birds that visit our parks, gardens and backyards to find something to eat or a safe place to raise their families. Birds entertain and delight us with their antics, bright colors and cheerful songs. They're so familiar we think we know them very well.

There are ways that birds are like people. It could be that's another reason why we're fascinated by them. But how well do we know them, really?

The truth is backyard birds have some amazing and surprising secrets. That's what this book is about.
