Kiwi Magazine Review:
Sometimes when you listen to birds chirping and singing, it seems like they may have invented the haiku. The gorgeous illustrations accompany the lovely staccato haikus about all things bird. A wonderful gift for a child or an adult.

Product Description
A joyful primer on the pleasures of bird-watching merges haiku, notes for identifying species, and exquisite watercolor illustrations.

In spare and graceful words, poet and birder Michael J. Rosen captures the forecasting call of the mysterious cuckoo as well as essential characteristics of more than twenty commonly seen North American birds. This artfully compiled field notebook - enriched by the evocative artwork of watercolorist Stan Fellows - captures the excitement of recognizing a bird, whether a darting kingfisher, a wandering wild turkey, or a chirpy house sparrow.
