"Birdwatching is something we do for enjoyment, so if you enjoy it, you are already a good birder. If you enjoy it a lot, you are a great birder."

With wonder and a sense of humor, Nature Obscura author Kelly Brenner aims to help us rediscover our connection to the natural world that is just outside our front door — we just need to know where to look.

I've learned so much reading Sibley's new book. This special, large-format volume is geared as much to non-birders as it is to the out-and-out obsessed, covering more than two hundred species and including more than 330 new illustrations by the author. A beautiful book providing all the details you never knew you wanted to know on the lives of birds.
