Backyard Birds and Their Hidden Lives

You know the robin on your lawn and the cardinal at your feeder by sight, but you have never been told what they are actually doing out there. Is it the same cardinal as last year? Does the robin hear the worm? How does a chickadee live through a night of hard frost?

Each twenty-minute chapter opens inside one ordinary scene from your own window and follows a single bird into its hidden life. You learn how birds smell, why starlings swirl in those huge evening clouds, what a hummingbird does when the light fades, and how the birds you feed every morning navigate, remember and survive. Every chapter ends with a one-line summary of what the research really shows and a small thing to look for on your next walk or feeder visit.

The view from your kitchen window will not look ordinary again. Press play with your coffee and let the birds explain themselves.
