A Guide to the Behavior of Common Birds | 
This book has been an interesting addition to my recent bird-watching frenzy. It‘s the kind of thing that I probably won‘t read straight through but it makes a great reference. It covers 25 common birds and gives an accessible profile of behaviors relating to territory, courtship, nesting, breeding, plumage, seasonal movement, and social behavior. I have gained a new appreciation for many of the birds in my local area already. ⬇️
psalva Bird Depicted: fledgling American Robin. I spotted it while on a walk last weekend. It stood stock still. I was worried it was hurt, but I‘ve been assured that sometimes fledglings will freeze rather than fly off, particularly if they are not confident with their wings yet. I only stopped for a brief photo so I didn‘t scare it more. 1w
