Opis

-Yard Birds- is a collection of brief, whimsical verses, accompanied by droll illustrations. The birds that fly about in the bushes, trees and at the feeders lend themselves to many a good laugh. Did you ever see a Junco frown? Did we get a glimpse of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker, which we all thought was extinct? There are a few maritime birds too (though the largest body of water in my yard is the birdbath). But we live on Vashon Island surrounded by Puget Sound so you'll see a cormorant drying his wings, and a heron who complains that he didn't catch a fish all day. And a few birds that I've seen in other countries flew into these pages to see what all the giggles and guffaws were about. Bird watchers, come and join the jollity.
