A mother and son wrote this book together, and their shared delight shows on every page. Elizabeth and Joseph Grinnell introduce the birds of dooryard and field as neighbors worth knowing: how they build, sing, raise their young, and earn their keep in the garden. Joseph would go on to become one of America's most influential naturalists. Warm, observant, and gently instructive, this is an inviting listen for families and anyone who pauses when a bird lands nearby.
