From the publisher:
Among the Birds is an enchanting celebration of the Pacific Northwest's birds, brought to life by New York Times–bestselling author and naturalist Lyanda Lynn Haupt. Readers join Haupt on a wandering journey through the region's avian world, drifting intuitively among species, much like you encounter birds on a neighborhood amble, forest trail or windy shoreline.
More than 70 feathered residents and seasonal visitors make an appearance, connected through experience, memory and the serendipity of daily life outdoors. Haupt's signature voice—lyrical, curious, gently humorous, and deeply observant—infuses each vignette with delight and insight. She blends personal moments with natural history, offering a closer look at the habits, habitats, and captivating quirks of birds such as Steller's Jay, Anna's Hummingbird, Merlin, Black Oystercatcher, American Dipper, Caspian Tern and many more.
Acclaimed artist Justin Gibbens' richly detailed illustrations blend realism and whimsy to highlight each bird's distinct personality—and perfectly complement Haupt's stories to spark wonder, cultivate attentiveness and remind us of our role in caring for the wild lives that thrive alongside us.
