About this product
Product Information
"Whether you are an experienced birder or just learning natural history, this book will deepen your sense of place and open insights to beauty, wonder, and connection to the natural world."--John Muir Laws, author of The Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada Now in paperback! This charming, full-color field guide to 25 birds easily found in Berkeley proves that even the city's avian residents are a little quirky. Meticulously detailed illustrations capture each bird's distinctive physicality and temperament. A Burrowing Owl faces you in a full head-on shot, perhaps having just raised its raspy, chattering alarm call as you trespass on its last remaining Bay Area foothold at the Marina. The Anna's Hummingbird gives you a coy backward glance to assess if you've properly admired its flashing throat feathers, maybe having just performed its signature J-shaped courtship dive. While descriptions of identification and vocalizations are straightforward, author-illustrator Oliver James takes a delightfully creative approach to his write-ups of each species. A joy to read and pore over, Birds of Berkeley will enchant readers far beyond the city limits with its findings gleaned from painstaking and patient wildlife observation.

Reviews
"Well-wrought species profiles are coupled with Mr. James' absolutely brilliant colored pencil illustrations that at times are difficult to distinguish from photograph (indeed, he can render his subjects more effectively with his pencils that I generally can with a camera). However it's not only the technical accuracy of his illustrations that make them so remarkable [...] it is the way he presents them that conveys the more important lessons to both interested bird watchers as well as to any aspiring illustrators studying the book for the improvement of their own craft. [...] Given these qualities, Birds of Berkeley is as much a reference guide as it is a work of both literary and visual art."-- Johannes E. Riutta, The Well-read Naturalist "A playful, illustrated guide to our avian neighbors."-- Berkeleyside " Birds of Berkeley is more than an identification guide. It takes us beyond the who's who to why we care. Learn how to think about birds in a way that will deepen your love of feathered things. This book combines scientific research, local insights, humor, and beautiful and accurate artwork. Whether you are an experienced birder or just learning natural history, this book will deepen your sense of place and open insights to beauty, wonder, and connection to the natural world."-- John Muir Laws , author of The Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada "Imagine a Berkeley boy-hatchling, raised by birds, grows up to write about his favorite feathered friends in the neighborhood. That's pretty much the essence of this charming volume by local Oliver James."-- Cindy Margulis , executive director, Golden Gate Audubon Society "The art is brilliant all on its own, but what truly makes this book special is how Oliver James explores these birds in the context of the city and world that we share with them. It's a perfect blend of art and observation that captures and celebrates the personalities of our avian neighbors, as well as the place they call home."-- Schyler Baker, Books Inc. (Berkeley), "Well-wrought species profiles are coupled with Mr. James' absolutely brilliant colored pencil illustrations that at times are difficult to distinguish from photograph (indeed, he can render his subjects more effectively with his pencils that I generally can with a camera).
