pickI was hoping to finish this over the weekend on a camping trip, but alas it didn‘t quite happen. I enjoyed Amy‘s views on birdwatching and love her inquisitiveness about their behavior. I‘ve started looking up in the trees more on walks and hikes and enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the whippoorwills over the weekend. Tan‘s artwork is beautiful and I loved that she included her journal entries throughout the book.

Some great books about birding that I've read over the last year or so. Two nonfiction and a romance, but all three have inspired me to pay more attention to the feathered creatures around me. I love watching, listening, and trying to identify the birds I encounter each day 👀

I haven't read any of Amy Tan's fiction work but loved her memoir about bird watching 🐦⬛
In the 70‘s today. A day to be outside in nature! #daffodils #hyacythscyllia #magnolia #RobertTree #birdsong
pickA birthday present from my Mom who taught me to love birdwatching, this is a lovely memoir, nature observation, artwork filled book. The birds are west coast species which reminded me of my years in Utah. Tan‘s imagination comes through too. A restful book. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
pickAmy Tan's illustrations are beautiful, and her notes about her observations of the birds that visit her yard are so interesting! She also includes some information that she's learned from expert birders. Unfortunately not all of her observations are happy, and it makes me sad to think of birds getting ill and being in distress, but I guess that's part of nature, too.
This is exactly how I feel about the birds who visit my yard. 💛 Yesterday I saw mourning doves, crows, bluebirds, mockingbirds, and chipping sparrows. Today I watched red-shouldered hawks soaring above the trees.
I'm so excited to start reading this! My mom got this for me for my birthday a few weeks ago. 🐦
