My son and I were at a book store yesterday and my son begged me to buy this book. He loves watching birds. He has a bird feeder right outside of his bedroom window and he sits there and watched the birds as along as he can.

Grab a front row seat for the sights and
sounds of feeding, nesting, and bathing birds right in your backyard

welcome mat for temporary visitors stopping in during their seasonal
migration,
