Close to Birds
Close to Birds: An Intimate Look at Our Feathered Friends | Mats Ottosson, sa Ottosson
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A stunning celebration of birds and why we love them. Gorgeous, close-up photographs highlight the magic in every feather, with enchanting essays about how birds touch our lives. Our lives intertwine with birds like no other wild creature. Every day birds warm our hearts, inspire our curiosity, and appeal to our sense of wonder. Close to Birds brings us even nearer to our feathered friends. Roine Magnusson's photographs capture the beauty and detail of each bird's form, as well as their unique character and personality. Mats and sa Ottosson's short essays share charming and often-hidden details from birds' lives--from the reason why robins sing so early in the morning to the science behind the almost magical iridescence of mallard feathers. Close to Birds shares the irresistible joy and marvel of birds.

I‘ve had this on my shelves for a year or more, cover showing because it‘s just a gorgeous shot. Finally got around to reading it.

There are terrific photos of European birds, as the authors and photographer are Swedish, and most birds have an accompanying scientific fact laden essay. My favorite parts were the anecdotal bits from birders familiar with each species. Little stories about each bird‘s habits or personalities. ⬇️

Soubhiville See the only other post about this book for a story about a Bonobo in a zoo who sees a bird get injured. 2y
