每小时一次的指南书，跟随 24 只鸟寻找食物、伴侣和躲避捕食者的安全。

从白天到夜晚，从南极到赤道，鸟儿每天过着忙碌的日子。在这本精美的书中，鸟类学家Mark E. Hauber精细地描述鸟儿如何度过一天24小时。书中的每一个章节描述了一种鸟类的一个小时是如何度过，全书总共介绍了来自世界各地的24种鸟类，从热带地到极地。我们认识了深夜里会探食的猫头鹰以及夜鹰，也看到了几维鸟以及海燕如何在黑夜里寻路。天亮的时候，我们能想象“黎明的合唱团”的歌声。上午11点我们跟着潜鸭一起在池塘上飘着，休息的时候保留一只眼睛张开，以防万一有捕食者前来。晚上8点，我们跟着老鹰吞掉整只蝙蝠，一连串吃掉15只！

每一章节都搭配得奖艺术家Tony Angell的插图，插图会随着时间渐渐变得比较黑暗。这是一本适合喜爱自然科学、鸟类学以及鸟类观察家的读者！
