Illustrated by
Stephanie Fizer Coleman.
Young narrator Ava and her mother spend a winter day observing and recording the bird species they see as part of the annual Christmas Bird Count (an author's note explains that the event is run by the National Audubon Society). The text is full of information for fledgling scientists, with species names in bold and more information about each in the back matter. Ava's tally appears on the side of each spread during the count, allowing readers to watch the list grow as she spots new species.
