Sparrow Envy by J. Drew Lanham

5.0

A thoughtful, lovely collection that really makes Lanham's love of birding clear. I especially enjoyed Group Think: New Names for Plural Birds, as I also agree that a group of crows shouldn't be labeled as murderers, I am admittedly not a birder, but I do appreciate watching birds being birds, and listening to their songs, calls, chattering, what have you. Also appreciated was learning the trials of being Black while birding, as a middle aged white woman, I would never have thought of the dangers of that; white people, can we please do better? Can we please get over policing Black people about living their lives?
