Beach Birds Tami J Whitmore

If you've ever wanted to know about the hilarious private life of birds who roost at the beach, this book will fill the bill, no pun intended. Each of the twelve birds has their own scintillating story, a stunning full-color photograph for identification, and an appropriate Bible verse to match their feathered life. You will absorb information about threatened nesting habitats, favorite foods eaten--even though they are sometimes slimy--and how they all get along--or don't get along--with their avian neighbors. The Type-A Seagulls are almost at war with the aggravating and thoughtless Ravens, Mr. Sandpiper is a stay-at-home Dad, and surprisingly, a real Seahawk doesn't even have blue and green plumage. At the end of the book discover two additional stories about non-birds; Oma the opossum doesn't want to do her chores, and Charlie the harbor seal loves to sunbathe, even when it's raining. So come along on this flight of fancy and acquire knowledge in the midst of being entertained. Scientific names and their meanings are also included, along with an extended glossary of birding terminology.
