Hi Tweeters,

In regards to bird related poetry, another nice anthology is "Bright Wings".
I received it as a gift last winter, and have been really enjoying it! It
has a lot of diversity in poetry styles and is illustrated with paintings by
David Sibley.

Not to suggest that you should buy it on Amazon, but for more information:

Cheers,
Emily
