Robin Makes a Laughing Sound: A Birder's Journal

A beautiful blend of factual information and creative inspiration offers birders and budding artists alike a giftable collection of poetry, a compact guide, and an invitation to journal. At first glance, Robin centers 
on bird identification and behavior. But look more carefully: journaling helps us observe, think, evaluate, record, and create.

Author and artist Sallie Wolfe provides a peek into her creative porcess, sharing notes, verses, sketches, and paintings from her own notebooks. Her words capture the light of early spring when robins return to newly budding trees, list the species that come and go, note how West Nile virus affects her backyard population, and even find a rhyme for suet—there's nothing to it.
