Feathers and Field Notes is a lyrical and practical exploration of birdwatching as both an art and a way of living attentively. Across a year of global travel—from Arctic coasts to tropical forests and city rooftops—the author shares vivid encounters with birds that awaken wonder, curiosity, and care. These moments are more than sightings; they become entry points into sketching, storytelling, conservation, and wellness. The book blends personal travel tales, field sketches, citizen science, folklore, and research into a rich mosaic that invites readers to see both birds and themselves more clearly. It's not a field guide or pure travelogue, but a reflection on how noticing the natural world can shape how we create, protect, and connect. Whether you're a seasoned birder, an artist, a teacher, or simply someone who once paused for a swallow in flight, this book is an invitation to join the wide, shared work of seeing and stewarding.
