Susan Estelle Kwas.
The activities of wild birds near a girl's home are described from spring through winter (e.g., "Sometimes they stay / and share this yard, / this tree with you"). While not meant as a guide book, some of the birds appearing in the generally realistic illustrations are identified on a double-page spread preceding the book's lyrical but dull verse.
