This spectacularly illustrated book features more than 300 full-colour images and more than 40 case studies that profile key species worldwide.

Other kinds of avian construction — such as bowers and food stores — are also featured.

Now with more case studies and an updated foreword, this revised and expanded edition includes intricate step-by-step sequences, visual spreads on nest-building materials and methods, and insightful commentary by a leading expert.
