Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Birds Up Close and PersonalBy D.V. BootyThis is perhaps the most amazing illustrated book Ive ever owned - its closest competition might be Rien Poortvliets Gnomes - but its all about real; living creatures. The authors passion for her subject matter; and her masterful skill in portraying the intimate lives of our feathered friends; simply captivate the reader; and instill a deeper understanding of the avian world. Absolutely remarkable; and a "must have" addition to any bird-watchers library.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great gift for bird and nature loversBy Susan D.Wonderful; wonderful book if you like birds. I got this out of the library; bought one for my mother for her birthday and then one for myself. The author sketched multiple types of baby birds from egg to fledgling; writing about her experiences along the way with each bird. Fascinating.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. One of my Favorite Bird BooksBy Tax GuyFor anyone interested in birds; this is a must-have book. The author is an excellent writer and illustrator; and the book details her extraordinary efforts to chart the development of young birds from hatching to fledge. She has a very personable writing style and quickly draws you into her over-the-top fascination with every aspect of bird life.
