This is a surprise. Thank you, Readers and Booksellers. Thank you, #Barnes&Noble for choosing #TheBackyardBirdChronicles as #GiftBookoftheYear.
Where I am: Miami! Birding at 6:30. A talk on The Backyard Bird Chronicles Friday 11/22. 6 pm. Then playing with the Rock Bottom Remainders 11/23. @8. Mary Karr, Stephen King, and Scott Turow are in the house—or rather the hotel!
It’s always a special
day when I see Junior the Great Horned Owl in our tree all day long.
What I’m excited to report: Wildcare of San Rafael released into our yard young doves that had been rescued as babies. So happy our yard was chosen because we had adult doves and a reliable food source.
What I notice when drawing birds: the miraculous way their feathers are made up, feathers used to fly thousands of miles twice a year.
What I’m grateful for: family, longtime friends with similar values, Lou’s and my good health, living in a home with endlessly fascinating birds in the backyard, and being licked on my nose each morning by my sweet little dog. Happy Thanksgiving all!
