Written by a mother and her son, who later became one of America’s leading ornithologists, this book for young readers explains how birds build their nests, raise their families, feed and sing. Homely comparisons carry the science, so that a nest slung between sycamore or orange branches becomes a cradle built onto its rockers, and the authors argue plainly against the wanton killing of songbirds.
