Each one of the thousands of species of birds in the world is its own marvel, a puzzle completed. Even those of us with little interest in birds know how varied in appearance they can be: their sizes and shapes, the colors of their feathers. (A 4-year-old knows the difference between a duck and a penguin.) But many of us have never learned how their behavior patterns are dramatically different. The way they fly, if they fly. What they eat; what, when, and how they sing. Each species has its own eggs design. Each species has its own nest design, each nest requiring specific building materials.

We humans have the joy of discovering the intricacies of each sacred puzzle, what makes every colorful species complete, and unique.
