Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan Mini Review by Ruth Paget
I like birdwatching around various venues on Monterey County on California’s Central Coast like Pebble Beach and Elkhorn Slough.
I began reading Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan and love the book already.
I like how she writes that scientific knowledge of birds makes it easier for her to draw them. ((Her book is illustrated with her own work.)
She was able to write this book by sitting still and observing birds through the seasons as she wrote novels at her kitchen table and looked out the window at birds.
I like quiet, solitary work myself and like the lovely book on birdwatching or birding that Tan wrote doing this kind of work.
