Enjoyed this book IMMENSELY. In some ways, it is totally banal, simply one person's observations of their backyard, collected over a period of several years. In other ways, it is a collection of reflections and gratitude for our natural world, that honors and respects the creatures around us. The curation of journal entries lends itself to an emotional arc. Deeply enjoyed and I'm sure I will re-read.

A banger. Amy Tan learned to draw birds in a nature journaling class at 64... life goals.

A joy of brief vignettes about the wonderful life of birds, as well as accidental insights into the author. Fun to read, if not all that urgent- but hey who said every book had to be.
Recommended if you like birds, fantasies of the inner workings of nature, imagining how a fight would have gone down in the shower.

This is a lovely, lovely book. Amy Tan's drawings are as appealing as her prose and she obviously loves the feathered creatures in her yard.
