Great book, great format

I love the insights in this book and the way that they are arranged by days and months so that you can follow them by season. I don't live in the same climate that Laura Erickson does, but I enjoy reading the changing of the seasons along with her. Her attitude is both scientific and humane, with enough playfulness thrown in to relieve the sometimes grim stories of the struggles of our feathered friends against the environmental challenges we put in their way.

If you are new to birding, this is your book!

Well written, even entertaining most of the time. The format is excellent
