White Feathers: The Nesting Lives of Tree Swallows

A beautiful book about the tree swallow and their life cycle, White Feathers explores the nesting habits of this bird through scientific observation and gorgeous nature photography. Struck by the behavior of these birds in the woods surrounding his cabin in Maine, author Bernd Heinrich began to document their habits and nesting practices, noticing the birds' predilection for white feathers as a building material despite being difficult to come by in the immediate area. A revealing and fascinating look at the lives of wild birds in one of the places where they intersect with our own lives.
