Author: CHRISTOPHER W. LEAHY

“Birdpedia” is an engaging illustrated compendium of bird facts and birding lore.

Featuring nearly 200 entries—on topics ranging from plumage and migration to birds in art, literature, and folklore—this enticing collection is brimming with wisdom and wit about all things avian.

Christopher Leahy sheds light on “hawk-watching,” “twitching,” and other rituals from the sometimes mystifying world of birding that entail a good deal more than their names imply.
