Book Description

October 3, 2006

We see birds every day, yet we know surprisingly little about them. In this book, photographer extraordinaire Brutus Ostling presents images of particularly interesting, thought–provoking and amusing aspects of the life of birds. The text and captions provided by bird expert Magnus Ullman complement the stunning photographs.

The feathered "cast of characters" profiled is international in scope––from Sweden and the Antarctic to the deep forests of Canada, the wetlands of the United States and Spain, the deserts of Mexico to the savannahs of Tanzania: Ostling capture the grace and beauty of nearly 250 different species.

Full colour throughout, this portfolio of the best of our feathered friends makes for an amazing collection. Sure to be sought (and bought) by bird fanciers worldwide.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Birds in ways I've never seen them before., November 9, 2006
By 
This review is from: Between the Wingtips: The Secret Life of Birds (Hardcover)
This is surely the ultimate in bird watchers books. Sure you can get bird catalogues, but this book has better information on why birds do things than I've ever read. And the photographs! Amazing! The shots are pin-sharp, the poses incredible and the photohrapher says he doesn't photoshop them... what a master... I'm buying 5 as Chrstmas gifts. I KNOW they will be loved. I bought Audubon's Birds of America, wish I had bought more of this book instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars astounding images of birds in nature, November 24, 2006
This review is from: Between the Wingtips: The Secret Life of Birds (Hardcover)
I LOVE this book. The incredible images drew me to it, the details about birds lives is the icing on the cake. I limit myself to 20 pages at a sitting, so I can savor the experience of being taken all over the world and into the habitat that these beautiful, amazing, intelligent creatures live in. Ostling has an extraordinary eye, and a great gift. I have never seen such a compilation of wonderful shots of birds in motion or still. I thank him for this. You will too. Astounding!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning!, June 27, 2009
This review is from: Between the Wingtips: The Secret Life of Birds (Hardcover)
This is a stunning, beautifully photographed book. It offers a wide array of bird facts and information about many little known things that make you almost read the whole thing in one sitting. The photography is simply magnificent, so if you are a bird lover or know one, get this book. It is a stunning, fascinating read.
