HOW BIRDS FLY is a NON-TECHNICAL introduction to bird flight. This delightful book reveals the mysteries of flapping flight with sequences of fascinating high-speed photographs that lead the reader step-by-step through the fine points of take-off, level flight & slow flight.

HOW BIRDS FLY features 68 original photographs of geese, owls, ducks, gulls, terns, osprey, ravens, & ruffed grouse (including 16 full-color photos)--all taken by the author. An unusual double gatefold presents the phases of take-off in an exciting four-page-wide array of photographs. David Goodnow is a naturalist, a licensed bird-bander & a wildlife photographer.
