A whole kingdom of song is waiting just outside the window. Olive Thorne Miller, a beloved nineteenth century nature writer, introduces the birds of field and garden as characters with homes, habits, quarrels, and songs of their own. You will learn how birds build, feed, migrate, and raise their young, told with the warmth of a storyteller rather than the dryness of a textbook. A lovely family listen that turns every walk outside into a treasure hunt. Press play and start listening for wings.
