With full-color, full-page illustrations, the book shows not only the birds, but their habitats as well. Children will learn that different birds live in the marsh at different times of the year. In their search for the birds, they will also see how the beauty of the marsh itself changes with the seasons. The book is not a typical field guide containing many birds; rather it concentrates on a small number of commonly found birds, so the children will not be disappointed in their search. Finding Birds in the Chesapeake Marsh can spark a lifelong appreciation for the birds and their surroundings. |
