I love listening to my neighborhood birds in spring and summer! This book was such a joy to read. I attract as many birds to my yard as I can, just enjoy listening to them sing. I can can even call the bluejays and they will respond! I do baby bird calls to announce feeding the birds! I don't think a human exists who doesn't feel joy and pleasure listening to the birds. From 5 in the morning wake up call from a lovely neighborhood robin, to the peeps of baby birds greeting their parents, to the end of the day chatterings and chirpings of birds in our local bird tree it's all wonderful to hear. Lovely book! Make a great gift for a bird lover!

If it has birds in it, I'm reading it.

This is a gorgesouly written account on bird song and the impact it has had on humanity since the beginning. With carefully chosen pieces of poetry and snippets of essays that perfectly complement the point the author is making, this book will make you listen to birdsong in a completely new way.

This book is a love song to birds. For anyone who admires them or who just wants to learn more about them in a way that is not boring or terribly didactic, I recommend this book. It was a joy to read.
