Nests: Fifty Nests and the birds that built them, by Sharon
Beals. Chronicle Books. 2011, "Now, Sharon Beals allows us to see the
beauty and splendor of nests anew, through her remarkable photographs.
Her lens marries art, history, ornithology, a genetic legacy stretching
back tens of millions of years, and our fundamental wonder at the
exquisite, instinctive architecture of that which is a bird's nest.
Once more, we gasp. " (Scott Weidensaul)
