Inside Animal Homes

Birds are easily spotted in nature, but their homes may not be. This field-guide covers the variety of nests build by birds around the world, from recognizable straw nests in trees to the less common burrows built in the ground. Readers will explore how nests play a role in protecting and incubating eggs, while also gaining insight into the life of birds, where they live, how they help ecosystems, and how they survive. This book was written to support elementary science curricula, with diagrams, color images, and fact boxes to reinforce important concepts.
