A review by abigailbat
Bird Count by Susan Edwards Richmond

This beautiful, wintry picture book shows a young citizen scientist participating in the Christmas Bird Count with her mom and their team leader. Birds are drawn accurately and there's a big emphasis on the tools that citizen scientists actually use when doing bird counts - identifying birds by how they sound, how they look, and how they move. This is a super book for young birders. I love that the illustrations show their field notebook on the right side of the page as their tally of identified birds grows throughout the day.
