Ornithography: An Illustrated Guide to Bird Lore & Symbolism (Volume 2) by Jessica Roux
US pub date - 9/24/24
I have read a couple of previous titles by Jessica Roux and always been wildly impressed by her beautiful illustrations, and when I saw this new title, I knew immediately that I wanted to read it.
After moving to the country (hence my blog name, The Bucolic Bookshelf), I’ve really appreciated seeing, and hearing, a ton of animals visit (or live on) our property - we have a resident chipmunk who’s lived under our front steps for the entirety of our living here, who is often seen sitting on our the steps, chirping away, we have deer who walk around our front and back yards sometimes after coming from across the street, where they live in the protected land, we have bunnies every spring, a woodchuck moved into our shed, we have teeny frogs who serenade us some evenings, and so many feathered friends, including some that I’d never seen in person before (owls, woodpeckers, wild turkeys).
I loved being able to look through this, matching some of our visitors to the gorgeous illustrations, meaning, and lore of many birds in the book.
Ornithography is an excellent choice for any bird lovers in your life.
