Fitzpatrick, and Jared Diamond ; additional text from Sandi Doughton, Miyoko Chu, and Dennis Paulson"--Title page. Summary:  Explores the relationship between birds and people through images by wildlife photographer Gerrit Vyn and thought-provoking essays by some of the world's leading naturalists and bird enthusiasts. The book marks the 100th anniversary of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, a world leader in the study, appreciation, and conservation of birds. Captured in terrain both exotic and familiar - the Yukon Delta, a woods in Arkansas, a remote village in Russia's Arctic, and even urban Seattle - photographs illustrate nearly 100 North American bird species. The exhilaration of migratory Whooping Cranes, the fragility of the endangered Spoon-Billed Sandpiper, and the wide-eyed beauty of Great Horned Owls all come alive on the page. From enjoying backyard Black-capped Chickadees and Yellow Warblers, to wondering over a Pileated Woodpecker, or to admiring the powerful soar of a Gyrfalcon. Other authors:  Vyn, Gerrit. Weidensaul, Scott. Cornell University. Laboratory of Ornithology.
