Silence of the songbirds.
New York: Walker & Company, 2007. Octavo, colour photographs, text illustrations, softcover. Wood thrush, bobolinks, the Eastern kingbird--migratory songbirds are disappearing at a frightening rate. Following the birds on their six-thousand-mile migratory journey, renowned biologist Bridget Stutchbury leads us on an ecological field trip to explore firsthand their major threats, and reveals what a vital part of our ecosystem they are.
A distinguished scientist reveals how we are losing the world's songbirds, why this predicts widespread environmental problems, and what we can do to save the birds and their habitats.
