SUMMARY:Among the Birds Book Release with Lyanda Lynn Haupt
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in celebrating the book release of Among the Bir
 ds by bestselling author and naturalist Lyanda Lynn Haupt! 📅 Thursday\,
  October 8th\, 6-8 Among the Birds is an enchanting celebration of the Pac
 ific Northwest’s birds\, brought to life by bestselling author and natur
 alist Lyanda Lynn Haupt. Join Haupt on a wandering journey through the reg
 ion’s avian world\, drifting intuitively among species\, much like you e
 ncounter birds on a neighborhood amble\, forest trail\, or windy shoreline
 . More than 70 feathered residents and seasonal visitors make an appearanc
 e\, connected through experience\, memory\, and the serendipity of daily l
 ife outdoors. Haupt’s signature voice—lyrical\, curious\, gently humor
 ous\, and deeply observant infuses each vignette with delight and insight.
  She blends personal moments with natural history\, offering a closer look
  at the habits\, habitats\, and captivating quirks of birds such as Stelle
 r’s Jay\, Anna’s Hummingbird\, Merlin\, Black Oystercatcher\, American
  Dipper\, Caspian Tern\, and many more. Acclaimed artist Justin Gibben’s
  richly detailed illustrations blend realism and whimsy to highlight each 
 bird’s distinct personality—and perfectly complement Haupt’s stories
  to spark wonder\, cultivate attentiveness\, and remind us of our role in 
 caring for the wild lives that thrive alongside us. About the Author.... L
