she saw one once in summer

a welcoming glow

of neglect

though my mind flies past

in orbit

just beyond the trees

where my true love finds its voice

As are many of us, I expect, I'm well stocked on field guides - national, regional, and local. I also regularly turn to Pete Dunne's "Essential Field Guide Companion", which is a rara avis indeed, being both engagingly educational and a delight to read.

Have you read or do you refer to any outstanding books about birds?

I'd welcome any suggestions you might have.
