Turning to Birds: A Memoir in Essays
by Lili Taylor
informative
reflective
slow-paced
A love letter to birds and birding. Lili Taylor writes a series of heartwarming essays grouped around different bird species. It was cool to read about her experience traveling to different film sets and being able to birdwatch from different areas. I especially enjoyed the chapter on her volunteer work with the Audubon Center on the night of 9/11, when a lot of birds need help with migration due the beams of light emanating from the memorial. This is a good mix of storytelling and bird facts.
