Birds, art, life, death: a field guide to the small and significant by Kyo Maclear

I have never cared much for birds. I don’t wish them harm but have never really given them much thought. I’m not sure, then, what led me to pick up a book about a woman who follows a birdwatcher for a year. But I actually loved it. I still don’t give much of a hoot for birds, but I got lost in this mediation on birdwatching and how we need to get outdoors, slow down and sometimes look up to help us find a subtle yet restorative meaning to our everyday lives.
