Ringkasan: This book looks in detail at the interaction of weather conditions and bird behaviour. The first chapter provides a clear yet detailed overview of fundamental concepts of meteorology, and subsequent chapters discuss bird behaviour in relation to weather conditions. Taking wealth examples from the Western Palearctic, Africa and North America, the author considers key components of avian behaviour in turn, from flight and foraging through to reproduction, roosting, heat regulation and migratory behaviour. This is marvelously readable book with illustrated and colour photographs.
