What a beautiful reference book! The illustrations look to be done in watercolor and they are just gorgeous! The details for each species was very well done. I enjoyed the background and lore of each one.

A beautiful book with stunning illustrations and packed with information. This was a lovely look to read accompanied by Roux's gorgeous works of art. I appreciated that there is a variety of resources that the author pulled from (Greek, Chinese, Christianity, Native American, and also general idioms) to assign these birds meanings and give a quick overview.
