In this new book, Zuckerman features nearly 75 species of birds, nearly half of them taken at the National Aviary in 2008. The book’s more than 200 photos are shot against a stark white background to allow the complexity of color and texture to shine, with each bird depicted with rare insight and humor.

Among the National Aviary birds featured are African penguins, a scarlet macaw, Eurasian eagle owl, American kestrel, green aracari, military macaw, call duck, spectacled owl, hyacinth macaw and blue-fronted Amazon parrot. This beautiful book makes a great gift, and is available in the National Aviary gift shop.
