pickWhen I moved 3 years ago I unexpectedly fell in love with birdwatching in my backyard. This book is a love letter to the hobby from Amy Tan. The physical copy is beautiful and includes so many detailed sketches and paintings that she did of different birds. Just a lovely treat to read and a great reminder to slow down and enjoy the beauty in your own backyard.
Reviewing this book also brought to mind this barred owl I saw on my Thanksgiving hike this year
Reviewing this book made me think of my last unexpected owl encounter, which was just over a week ago with a pair of hooting Great Horned owls in the predawn hours. The lack of daylight meant I couldn‘t really take a good picture.
pickAs an amateur birder who adores owls, this quiet picture book struck a chord. I‘ve seen owls in unexpected places and missed them when I searched, so I loved how this captures the magic of finally spotting one. A gentle, beautiful reminder of why we keep looking. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickThis was such a rich and fun book. What a fascinating and important life Mr. Cooper has led. I think he‘s done just about everything and has punctuated those moments with birdsong.
I recommend listening to the audiobook. It is read by the author and uses examples of the bird calls provided by the Cornell Laboratory. #bookspinbingo #doublespin
