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.

As 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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Also spotted while #birdwatching: Four otters. This was the best pic I could take.

Went birding this morning with @BookishMarginalia . I took a few nice photos of wood storks. #Birdwatching #Birder

This 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

Only my coworkers came to my program tonight but we had fun and ate so much leftover Halloween candy. I‘m going to start Better Living Through Birding to prepare for more programming! #doublespin #bookspinbingo
