In the brush and at the wood's edge, you will encounter the dark-eyed junco and the white-eyed vireo, and in the forest--if you are lucky--you might hear the evocative call of the nocturnal Chuckwill's-widow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBirdlife\u003c\/i\u003e delights with Ballantine's own artistic and precise illustrations, hand-lettered text, easy-to-follow presentations, and memorable descriptions.
