An hourly guide that follows twenty-four birds as they find food, mates, and safety from predators.
From morning to night and from the Antarctic to the equator, birds have busy days. In this short book, ornithologist Mark E. Hauber shows readers exactly how birds spend their time. Each chapter covers a single bird during a single hour, highlighting twenty-four different bird species from around the globe, from the tropics through the temperate zones to the polar regions.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, we float alongside a common pochard, a duck resting with one eye open to avoid predators.
