Description:
The sixteen birds detailed in this charming field guide will be well known to birders in Connecticut, but the attention to detail and personality quirks in each bird’s description make this book special for any reader. “Having dropped out of high school, Blue Jays are truants experiencing cheap thrills.” Written after leading a student forum on field ornithology, Oliver James developed the book to introduce non-birders to a wonderful new way to experience the world - through encounters with the birds that are most likely to be found on the campus of this liberal arts college.
