"In the front yard, a red-capped woodpecker is working on a hole-pocked pine tree." From ten taps of a woodpecker at dawn to a single note from a tiny hummingbird at dusk, Franco's straightforward text introduces ten common birds and their distinct sounds. Jenkins's signature collage illustrations are a visual treat. Some additional information about the featured birds is appended.
