The Backyard Bird Chronicles Flexibound – April 23, 2024

Delightful anecdotes about the beauty and wisdom to be appreciated when being more mindful of wild feathered friends. Impressive illustrations. Light but very enjoyable read.

Great book if you like watching birds. Amy Tan is a great author and her sketches are amazing. This is an illustrated collection of her backyard bird observations

I always enjoy Amy Tan's writing and I really love birds, bird watching, birding...So this book was a natural choice! I love the illustrations, so whimsical, beautiful, and in some cases more helpful than actual bird books. I mostly enjoyed the text, her interactions, interesting observations, investments-emotional, financial, time, etc.A wonderful book for any birder, backyard or otherwise.

A charming book. Takes a little longer to read, for the handwriting, which adds to the charm. Lovely illustrations which are hand drawn & watercolored. Amazon gives a good price.

This was terrific! The author kept journals, during Covid lockdown in California, of all of the birds in her yard. As a feeder and lover of backyard birds, I really enjoyed this. She is funny, compassionate and insightful. Sprinkled throughout are her sketches of the little visitors.My sweet daughter gave this to me as a gift or I probably wouldn't have come across it. It was right up my alley and a very pleasant read!

Valueable and beautiful bird book. Now you can identify those feathered visitors . So happy!

Very sweet book by this author. It lacks a lot of substance, but the illustrations make it a pleasure to look at. It’s very nice to see the diversity of her art forms.

Truly delightful. If you wonder about birds or love birds this is the book for you. A great beginner book and a great expert book where ever you are on you birdwatching journey. Drawings are so good.
