I have purchased two copies of this book as gifts for nature-loving friends. They both loved it. This title has been out for a while ... this is not a scientific treatise or essay. Instead, the nests, selected from a collection, are treated almost as art, and photographed in a way that brings out their beauty in detail, which heightens one's sense of wonder about how they are made. How are they made? Birds do not teach their young how to build - there must be an element of genetic memory. Anyway, this is a just-the-right-size book for shelf or coffee-table, and a sure hit for anyone who likes birds and fine publications. - Daniel O'Donnell, Portland

Gorgeous book. Intrigues children and non-bird-enthusiast adults as well as birders. Smaller than I thought it would be. If it were larger, would make a great coffee table book!

This is not a field guide or a biology text. Anyone expecting that will be disappointed. What this is, is a wonderful artbook of bird nest photos, all shot against black backdrops and accompanied by a single-page natural history of the species in question.
Printing is good, but not great. But at the same time, while a heavier paper and finer screen would be welcome, the accompanying increase in price would not be.

The book has nice pictures of the nests. However, the font is very small which makes it difficult for anyone over 40 to read. Also, there is no nest shown for the bluebird, cardinal, chickadee, painted bunting, indigo, robin; common songbirds birdwatchers love to see. I should have zoned in on the table of contents more closely.

An excellent book. Text is educational and accurate. The accompanyig pictures of the nest are superb. The book makes you want to go outside to find nests on your own.
