Book Description
For the first time ever in book form, here is comprehensive range of remarkable, lifelike illustrations of bird nests, eggs, and feathers rendered in actual size. Sure to delight bird watchers as well as lovers of art and nature, The Nest not only offers a close-up look at these fascinating creatures and their intricately woven homes but is a thoughtful study of natural forms and color as well. The handwritten text, pencil-etched details, and colorful watercolor and pen-and-ink art-all packaged in a deluxe format-give this lovely volume both the intimate feel of a bird watcher's field journal and artist's sketchbook. The wealth of drawings, field observations, and fascinating bird facts make this a useful reference and irresistible collectible.
