Author/artist Joan Harris shares inspiring stories, sprinkled with humor and fascinating natural history information in THE LEAST OF THESE. As she did in her award-winning ONE WING'S GIFT: RESCUING ALASKA'S WILD BIRDS, Joan brings these gangly, delicate babies to life on the page in meticulously detailed, Audubon-like drawings. From Hurlly, a fuzzy, so-ugly-it's-cute baby buzzard, to impressive adult birds portrayed in spot art for reference, these drawings (and their accompanying stories) make this book an ideal gift for bird lovers of all ages. Included is an appendix of bird rescue centers and information on what to do if you find a baby bird.
