Quirky and fascinating, I love experiencing the natural world through Sy Montgomery‘s eyes. This love letter to our most common avian friends was funny and interesting, made me smile, laugh, and think. Short too, about 2 hours on #audio and read by the author.

ncsufoxes My oldest child would probably love this one. He loves birds (wildlife biologist major). At his university they have chicken that are free to roam on the campus. The university even has an instagram account for the chickens. 3d
kspenmoll My neighbors raise chickens & they hobble about my yard fertilizing it( we do not use anything on our lawn in terms of fertilizer, weed killer, etc. It‘s a neighborhood thing). I will definitely suggest this to them! Thx! 3d

This was a gentle quiet read. I would put it in a collection with Soil by Camille Dungy, Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, and Lab Girl by Hope Jahren: stories of women reflecting their lives and histories in the natural world. But more than that, the natural world is more important than the author at times. Not feel good books, but closer to calls to action than memoirs.

Amy 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.

kspenmoll Happy Litsyversary!!!!! 2w

I‘m home sick today but twitchy. This is a thoughtful, gentle rumination while I needle felt a prize for a friend.

Ruthiella Hope you feel better soon. 🤒❤️ 3w
