Synopsis

Nature writer Janet Lembke claims "dangerous" birds can be as plain as sparrows or as light and elusive as hummingbirds, so long as they catch hold of a human being's fascination and never let go. In a brilliant work, Janet visits some of these "dangerous" birds, letting readers share her love and knowledge of them and the unique sense of wonder they inspire.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

The stories in this book deal most obviously with birds. They are meant as an aviary housing a hodgepodge of species - some that are easily seen, some that aren't, and some that can't be seen at all. Honest-to-goodness field-guide birds, the sort that can be watched with eyes, share the pages with birds that can be observed only in memory and imagination, the birds of myth and poetry, the birds of Mother Goose and Edward Lear.
