Inhaltsangabe

When you see a bird diving for a fish, landing on a perch, or singing from a fence post, do you wonder what it’s saying or thinking? While staking out nests or waiting for the perfect shot on cold mornings, photographer Kate Davis has wondered plenty. In Birds Are People, Too, she lets her imagination fly with humorous takes on the avian world, from young owls pondering if their parents will really kick them out of the nest to a sleepy robin that awoke too late to get the worm. You’ll be entertained and amazed by this extraordinary collection of more than 100 never-before-published action photos of 62 bird species.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Surrounded by birds for the last 30 years, Kate Davis lives in an avian world. She founded the nonprofit education program Raptors of the Rockies in 1988 and keeps over a dozen birds of prey at facilities at her home in western Montana. In this, her sixth book, she presents a different slant on a bird guide: a humorous and human look at our avian neighbors. Kate is a photography fanatic. For months out of the year she spends most evenings along the river behind her house, a bird mecca. Kate’s motto: “Always have your camera ready. You never know what might fly by.”

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Kate Davis knows birds, and it’s a riot to see that someone as knowledgeable and talented as Kate can’t help but anthropomorphize the behaviors of these beautiful and wondrous creatures. This book is a reminder of the beauty of the world, and that we have a kinship with all living things. Our ability to laugh at our condition is what makes us, and our avian friends, special. And hilarious.—BILL HARLEY, Grammy Award-winning storyteller, singer, author
