[Ivanna Berrios · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book has no reviews of course which makes sense since its some random 19th century book about birds that i picked up at a wildlife refuge lol. A la Annie Dillard i enjoyed it bc of its attention to life, chronicling details of botany, plumage, genus, song type. It quickly got tedious bc the author repeats platitudes about the beauty of nature quite a bit.
