520 _a"Birds are adapted in many ways to their lifestyles and environments: for flight, migration, thermoregulation, osmoregulation, reproduction, resource utilization and (in some species) by domestication. Each of these broad areas has its own chapter in this excellent book. Birdwatchers ought to have at least one avian biology book on their shelf, and this highlyreadable one is recommended to those who cannot afford the larger, more expensive works that are available."
