birders

Today I finished reading "Turning to Birds: the Power and Beauty of Noticing" by Lili Taylor. This is a collection of essays, each mostly focused on one type of bird. It is a combination of her experiences in both birdwatching and bird conservation and how those activities have changed her. In particular, the essays on migrating and on the chimney swifts were interesting to me, and the bluebird/sparrow one somewhat heartbreaking.
