Summary

Migrating Animals explores the incredible journeys undertaken by wildlife across the globe, revealing the biological, environmental, and evolutionary factors that drive these behaviors. Readers will discover how animals navigate vast distances, sometimes spanning continents or oceans, and the physiological adaptations that enable such feats. For example, some birds can fly thousands of miles nonstop, while whales undertake epic oceanic voyages. Understanding these migrations is crucial, as they influence species distribution, disease spread, and ecosystem health.

 
The book traces the evolution of migration study, from early observations to modern tracking technologies like satellite telemetry. It emphasizes that migration is not just a behavioral trait but a complex interaction of genetics, physiology, and environmental adaptation. Chapters progress from defining migration and exploring physiological adaptations to examining environmental drivers and the impact of human activities. This approach offers a comprehensive overview of the vulnerabilities migratory species face due to habitat loss and climate change, highlighting the urgent need for conservation.

    As popular as birdhouses are, many are designed with aesthetics in mind, rather than the bird's preferences and needs. Not so for the projects in Making Bird-Friendly Birdhouses. Lifelong birder Mel "Bird Man Mel" Toellner and pro woodworker Matt Maguire walk readers step-by-step through 15+ projects for safe birdhouses that birds find conducive to their natural nesting habitats. They begin with a comprehensive introduction to why birdhouses are so important, and why the birdhouses should be created with specific birds in mind like bluebirds, wrens, chickadees, owls and even bats! With additional sections on distribution maps, detailed plans, mounting instructions, and tips on attracting birds to your yard, it has everything you need to create a successful backyard haven for your winged friends.
