Delightful.
Always enjoy Mark Ludy's artwork. This was another enjoyable use of his work to bring out birding and some of the thoughts of a birder.

Some notes about the work.
Its a wordless picture story except for when peeking into Birdie’s sketchbook - as there you will see her notes and names of the birds. (I’ve always enjoyed sketchbooks where ideas are thrown down - usually never meant to be seen by other eyes. And that is what will be really intriguing in this work)
Its a genuine Field Guide of North American Birds. Over 100 distinct birds will be captured and illustrated so young and old birders alike will be able to truly identify them. Let it be noted that its not meant to be an authoritative resource but one that derived from those resources. Its simply meant to inspire young and old to ’look’ at the wonder that surrounds us all in these amazing creatures!
This book was inspired by Miranda, my wife’s own experience and her passion for birds. Its in conjunction with her and her hilarious sense of humor that this book was made possible.

Charming
This book is as charming as they come. It was a gift for my wife, an aspiring painter. As luck would have it, when the book arrived, she was in the middle of painting the same bird as pictured on the cover! Absolutely fantastic work--and speaking as a graphic designer, the soft-touch aqueous cover adds a nice leathery touch that brings everything together.
