Bird Egg Feather Nest
by: Koch, Maryjo
The cover art hardly does justice to the wonders that lie in store for
you within the pages of this glorious tribute to our feathered friends.
Maryjo Koch's informative, hand-lettered text is drawn from her own observations
in the field, as well as literature, science, and mythology. It includes
quotes from notable figures such as Edgar Allan Poe, Miguel de Cervantes,
and Henry David Thoreau. Discover fascinating tidbits, such as how the
tailorbird actually stitches its nest together using its beak as a needle,
tying knots as it goes along. Though it's not an encyclopedic A-Z edition,
you'll find information about the tiniest bee hummingbird, laying eggs
in her thimble-sized nest, as well as the eight-foot-tall ostrich laying
grapefruit-sized eggs weighing almost three and a half pounds. More remarkable
than the text, however, is the incredible variety of images included in
one single book. The hand lettering takes the form of an egg or the flowing
pattern of a bird in flight, or simply creates a design on its own. Koch's
images include fairly straightforward naturalist paintings along with
more imaginative ones, such as the charming illustration of a menu from
the Blue Bird Inn, with selections including the common earthworm, poison
oak berries, and hundred-legged centipedes. This is definitely a book
well suited to bird lovers and art lovers of all ages. 100 illustrations.
