The Backyard Bird Chronicles

by Amy Tan

I am still new to birding, and so every bird is a good bird to see, even the ones I see all the time. I am happy they’ve come, that they’ve chosen my yard to visit for a few minutes or the day or every day for many weeks or months. I especially love the birds that are here every day of the year, like the titmouse and chickadee. I hope I never cease to be amazed.
