Country Bird: Explore the Charming Language of Backcountry Birdsong

Country Bird gives birdwatching new meaning by pairing scientific insight on the sounds and songs unique to birds inhabiting rural areas of North America with a light-hearted narrative that reflects the personality and characteristics associated with country life. Vibrant illustrations help you identify the birds you see, and a journaling section at the back of the book allows you to jot down the times and places you spot a new feathered friend.

Learn about birding in a new, whimsical way and meet 50 wonderful Country Birds, including:
 

• The White-crowned Sparrow, adorned with a feather crown fit for royalty
• The friendly Downy Woodpecker, a great neighbor to all (except when he starts drumming!)
• The Northern Mockingbird, a musical diva with some of the most complex songs in the world
• The nocturnal Barn Owl, a farmer's best friend when it comes to pest control

The feathered country folk are a welcoming bunch, who will provide beautiful sights and sounds for anyone willing to take it slow on some quiet country roads. Give birding a go, learn, and listen to the beautiful sound of birds!
