Books by Laura Erickson

Ornithologist Laura Erickson combines her bird expertise with a touch of romance writing in this exploration of the courtship and mating rituals of 35 bird species, from the tiny ruby-throated hummingbird to the mighty great blue heron.

Presents familiar birds in unfamiliar ways. For each species group, this title features images of the male and female, nest, nestlings, feeding time, and the fledglings as they take their first leap. It begins with the fundamentals of nesting behaviours and explains why different species approach nesting in different ways.
