The Backyard Bird Chronicles

This is a beautiful book with Amy Tan's lovely drawings. She is so talented! And the day by day diary entries about her bird visitors is charming, if a bit too detailed for a normal sit-down-and-read-this- whole-book – at least for me. I found myself jumping and skimming around, but found the details and images delightful. Perhaps if I had more patience ... which is what one needs to enjoy the fruits of backyard birding.
