Thursday Thirteen – 13 Books About Birds

THURSDAY THIRTEEN

On Monday, I wrote about National Bird Day.  Then I began thinking about the books out there that mentioned birds, either non-fiction guides and informational ones or fiction stories.  I’ve often written about birds in nature stories and in fiction pieces, too. 

What did I find?  Here are 13 of them for Thursday Thirteen.
