Renewing the World’s Bird Supply Since 2031
By Kate Samworth
For the last few winters, I have been involved in the Utah Bird Count with a dear friend. I’m a novice; she’s an expert. There is something exhilarating about being in the snow, counting thousands of birds of various, wondrous species. Birds are comical, fascinating, essential to nature, and must be protected. That is what “Aviary Wonders” addresses, in a creative, slightly dark way. The first thing to catch my attention was the artwork. It’s phenomenal! The next to draw me in however, was the content. A catalog that allows you to create your own bird! I love it. It gets your imagination going, but also reminds us to protect the beautiful creatures we already have in the world around us.
