Calling all bird-watchers! This darling picture book is the perfect introduction to birding, filled with soft illustrations and plenty of facts for nature-loving kids and grown-ups alike. 

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

A young girl and her mother participate as community scientists in the Christmas Bird Count. The girl is excited when Big Al, the leader of their team, asks her to record the tally this year. Using her most important tools―her eyes and ears―she eagerly identifies and counts the birds they observe on their assigned route around town. She and her team follow the rules, noting the time of day, the habitat, the birding ID techniques used for each sighting.
