Well-known wildlife artist, author, and educator Clare Walker Leslie invites beginning birdwatchers to hone their observational skills with this easy-to-use visual guide.
Using her signature nature journal illustrations, Leslie shows readers the key clues to look for, from the shape of the beak to distinctive feather colorings, flight patterns, and behavioral traits. She offers simple prompts that encourage readers to embrace curiosity and take a closer look: Where are you? What season is it? How is that bird moving or eating? With an emphasis on common birds that readers are likely to see, How to Look at a Bird makes bird watching, identification, and appreciation accessible to everyone, no matter where they live.
