 | How Birds Fly by Bobbie Kalman
Making a safe landing can be a difficult process for some seabirds. If the wind is not cooperating they often crashland when putting on the brakes risking injury to their feet and legs. Most birds, however, are expert fliers and children are inspired with countless questions watching the graceful ease of a bird in flight. With the aid of brilliant color photographs, How Birds Fly answers this and many other questions. The nature of bird anatomy, the role of feathers in flying, and the dynamics of lift and thrust are explained using clear, simple illustrations. The book also explores the evolution of birds, the man-made dangers they face and explains why hummingbirds are able to fly backwards and hover, why birds migrate, and why flocks of birds are often seen flying in V-formation.
