Each colorful volume takes the form of a young bird watcher's journal, with entries discussing a bird's appearance, life cycle, habitat, and behaviors, such as when it lays eggs. The tools and responsibilities of successful bird watchers are also emphasized. Information is presented in an entertaining, yet informative way, encouraging a new generation of bird watchers to get outside and embrace this activity.
