Field Notes from an Unintentional Birder: A Memoir by Julia Zarankin
3.0
Late 30s woman joins a bird watching group and (eventually) becomes obsessed with birds. Bio relates birds to her life ( migration to her move from Soviet Union to Canada, chance at seeing a rare bird to meeting her husband). It’s ok. Timeline is a little jumpy. Some ok jokes. Amused that she got her grandmother to steal a library book on birds for her.
Wish it had pics of the birds mentioned.
Some interesting bird facts:
-American woodcock can see backwards and forwards
-female phalatropes are more colourful than their male coin
-songbirds have a sexual organ that stimulates their voice box in breeding season. This organ shrinks other times of the year
