Nature specialist Green approaches birding from a crafting angle, with building instructions for simple roosts and more complex structures like dovecotes. The book, an update of Green's 2010 book, elaborates on the finer points: what types of feeders attract which birds (song thrushes and American robins, for instance, are drawn to ground feeders) and which birds are likely to enjoy a bath (sparrows and blackbirds, to name two).--Lela Nargi Publishers Weekly PW, June 29 2020
