This Morning Outside

It pleases me inordinately to watch birds come into my garden and find "stuff" for their nests. The warm white belly of the kingbird, the tickling twist of a tendril, redeem all the metal and plastic and hard angles.

Name that bird!

NGS 6A field guide (bird book) will help you to recognize the birds that share your life.

We like the National Geographic Guide to Birds of North America, Sixth Edition. It covers all the birds in North America.

Thumb tabs provide instant access to hawks, sandpipers, gulls, flycatchers, warblers, sparrows, and finches. And the illustrations are gorgeous!
