What Bird is That? is the lifelong work of author and illustrator Neville W. Cayley, with invaluable updates by noted ornithologist, Terence R. Lindsey. Cayley's dream was to teach Australians more about their extraordinary birds, and by doing so create a nation of bird lovers to protect them. One of the special features of What Bird is That? is the arrangement of birds by where they live rather than the traditional arrangement by species, making it easier to find the birds you are looking for. This distinctive feature has been preserved in this edition, together with the concise notes on each species' distribution, habitat, life history, nesting and food, and the derivation of its scientific name. This enhanced Signature Edition of What Bird is That? is a beautiful showcase of our diverse and unique bird life, and a tribute to Cayley's vision. (Publisher's note)
