Summary

Everywhere, birds have managed to cope with environmental constraints. Woodpeckers survive by attacking trees while cormorants have adapted to water, ptarmigans to the high mountain and albatross to the open sea. But how do they bore into wood? How do they swim underwater? How do they survive in the cold? How do they keep from dying of thirst at sea? Winged creatures are fragile and are affected by human activity. This book targets all bird lovers. It focuses on the great adaptability, beauty and the secrets of nature’s irreplaceable sentinels.
