This was to signify the birthday of John James Audubon (1785-1851), who was the first person to attempt to paint and identify all the birds of North America and the inspiration for the founding of the National Audubon Society.
It made me think about when I was younger, some of my favorite books were the Audubon Field Guides
. If you have a young person in your life exploring and discovering the outdoors, there is nothing better than one of these books. There is one for every subject from Trees
and Birds
to Wildflowers
, Reptiles
, Rocks
and Shells
. When they inevitably find something outside and they don't know what it is, they, or you, can use these books to help them learn about our world and the living things we share it with.One of the best features of the books is the rich photography of every species and variety identified. Even if you are not looking for a specific animal or plant, just flipping through the pages can be a journey in itself.
