>> I’d love to chime in on any discussion like this, Larry. I really enjoyed A Parrot Without a Name by Don Stop. My all time favorite is Last of the Curlews by Fred Bodsworth with a forward by W.S. Merwin. Favorite poetry books on birds anything by Mary Oliver and “Shared Sigtings: An Anthology of Bird Poems”, edited by Sheila Golburgh Johnson.
