What a unique way to show urban birds.
You will get a brief description of each bird along with a
wonderful watercolor photo. This is a good for both adults and children as you
read about each bird you’ll read a brief description of each bird along with a
wonderful watercolour of that bird.
I never know what the birds are around here that I see.
