Birds of the world are portrayed in all their colorful glory by Tim Flach, the world’s leading animal photographer.

Radiating grace, intelligence, and humor, and always in motion, birds tantalize the human imagination. Working for years in his studio and the field, Tim Flach has portrayed nature’s most exquisite creatures alertly at rest or dramatically in flight, capturing intricate feather patterns and subtle coloration invisible to the naked eye.

From familiar friends to marvelous rarities, Flach’s birds convey the beauty and wonder of the natural world. In these magnificent photographs are all manner of songbirds, parrots, and birds of paradise; birds of prey, water birds, and theatrical domestic breeds. The brilliant ornithologist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Richard O. Prum is our guide to this magical kingdom.

Incredibly detailed photos are a pleasure to look through. Evident that Meticulous care went into selecting photos and incorporating reference text, but not at all text heavy.
If you want a large, beautiful table book, this is a treasure. Highly recommended to bird and nature enthusiasts.

I purchased this for my mom for Christmas. She is an avid bird-watcher and thought it was such a beautiful coffee table book. The photography is absolutely stunning.

My only con is that it arrived in a large box with little to no padding and the corners of the book were damaged, but that's more of a "Ordering from Amazon during the Holidays" issue than anything to do with the book or seller.

This book by Tim Flach is one of a magnificent series of animal books photography and a necessary product in every library of animal lovers.
The photographs are unique and made in the most professional form possible.
The footage makes you think about how the photo shoot was performed. Were they done in studio photos? Because it looks like these are the conditions of photography. But how did they bring these animals to the studio...?
The book's printing is made in the highest quality, on amazing paper.
I am most pleased with the acquisition and wholeheartedly recommend this series of animal books photography

"Birds" is a most wonderful book with many breath taking photographs! A problem with the
Kindle Version is that many birds are shown on doubl pages thus one can see either firth the head
of a bird and on the next page the tail or first the tail then the head! Thus if that will cause
readers problems I would like to recommend the print version of this book!
