Birdgirl: Looking to the Skies in Search of a Better Future by Mya-Rose Craig
4.0
less about birding, or in UK parlance "twitching" and more about the activity as a way to bring a messy family together even during huge upheaval and struggle, along with a young person's concerns about their future in this warming planet.
The writing was excellent and kept me interested in this hyper specific world of "international birders" along with both the sheer joy and jealousy that can come with it, and the mindfullness it can bring as an activity. Mya-Rose's relationship with her mentally ill mother was also lovingly AND forthrightly discussed, and I only wish their family had more answers, sooner.
Definitely one to pick up.
