\"bluebird<\/a>Julie Zickefoose lives for the moment when a wild, free living bird that she has raised or rehabilitated comes back to visit her; their eyes meet and they share a spark of understanding.<\/p>\n

Her reward for the grueling work of rescuing birds – such as feeding baby hummingbirds every twenty minutes all day long – is her empathy with them and the satisfaction of knowing the world is a birdier and more beautiful place. The Bluebird Effect<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>is about the change that’s set in motion by one single act, such as saving an injured bluebird – or a hummingbird, swift, or phoebe. Each of the twenty five chapters covers a different species, and many depict an individual bird, each with its own personality, habits, and quirks and are illustrated with Zickefoose’s stunning watercolor paintings and drawings.<\/p>\n

Not just individual tales about the trials and triumphs of raising birds, The Bluebird Effect<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>mixes humor, natural history, and memoir to give readers an intimate story of a life lived among wild birds. (description from publisher)<\/em><\/p>\n
