Binding: Paperback
Description: Award - winning naturalist and author Jon Young's What the Robin Knows reveals how understanding bird language and behavior can help us to see more wildlife. A lifelong birder tracker and naturalist Jon Young is guided by three basic premises: the robin junco and other songbirds know everything important about their environment be it backyard or forest; by tuning in to their vocalizations and behavior we can acquire much of this wisdom for our own pleasure and benefit; and the birds companion calls and warning alarms are just as important as their songs. Deep bird language is an ancient discipline perfected by Indigenous peoples the world over and science is finally catching up. This groundbreaking book unites the Indigenous knowledge and the author's own experience of more than four decades in the field to lead us toward a deeper connection to the animals and in the end a deeper connection to ourselves. This elegant book will deepen the kinship between humans and other species. It decodes our common language.
