Two bird-related books checked off prompts. And they‘re both chock-full of great factoids and info on all things birdish. The pandemic connected me to my backyard in new ways. I‘ve always gardened but now I‘m feeding copious numbers of birdies. And taking their pictures. So much fun!

📚I'm on my third time reading Dune. I'm convinced that I discover something new every time.

📚It truly depends on the author, but sometimes yes.

📚 What It's Like to Be a Bird is so interesting and well researched. Not to mention the beautiful drawings.

The Pandemic has allowed me an opportunity to attend author talks all over the country, and I have taken full advantage of that gift. I watched David Allen Sibley discuss this impressive book. Beautiful artwork by the author covering two hundred species!

You can see a part of the bird bath that I added to the deck. Watching the enjoyment of visiting feathered friends has brightened my day!

Librarybelle So good to see you!! And, I completely agree about the virtual author talks during this time...I‘m taking full advantage of as many as possible! 4y

Author‘s wife is apparently responsible for this.

One day, Bernie memes will stop being funny to me. Today is not that day. Tomorrow‘s not looking good, either.

Since the pandemic, I‘m in my house and backyard SO much more. Our little bird population fascinates me. I‘ve even taken the telephoto lens out of its case and captured some birds in the flowers and birdbath. See my sweet goldfinch pair in the sunflowers? So, when this book was on Kindle sale yesterday, I grabbed it right up!

MittenGirlPeach This sounds wonderful! I love to birdwatch too. 4y

A surprise gift from my husband 😍I‘ve always enjoyed casual birdwatching but being sheltered in place has given me tons of time to enjoy the birds in my neighborhood and local parks. Beautiful book.

This sweet sparrow woke me up this morning. She flew into my window and landed on my roof on her back. I wanted to help her, but I would have landed on my back too. She eventually flipped over on her own and flew away as good as new. Pretty resourceful creature!

JoScho Little birds make me so happy. Glad she was ok 🖤 5y
