The nest reflects the behaviur as well as the evolution of the bird and the author shows vividly in words and pictures the breeding and nesting habits of 3 dozen familiar species, how they stake out their territiory, drive off rivals, pair with their mates, build their nests, lay their eggs, and raise their young.
