Join me tomorrow evening (Tuesday the 4th) for a virtual talk at the Wendell Gilley Museum and Southwest Harbor Public Library! I’ll be sharing my book, Ornithography: An Illustrated Guide to Bird Lore & Mythology as part of their Reading with Wings program. The event is at 6pm eastern and is free to attend.🦉 If you’ll be joining us tomorrow, tell me if there’s any bird you want me to talk about!
Register for the talk here
I was given the book 'Ornithography: The Secret Language of Birds' by DarkSide and I'm enchanted! Now I want to create an ymbryne OC for every bird in that book.

the sky is you, the bird was you, the glass was you, // are you still, though all broken—

The Magpie, another one of the 100 birds featured in my upcoming book, Ornithography: An Illustrated Guide to Bird Lore & Symbolism. Coming out September 24th and published by @andrewsmcmeel 🪶 Preorder wherever you like to get your books.
The heron, a symbol of a positive message, from my new book, Ornithography: An Illustrated Guide to Bird Lore & Symbolism 🪶 While working on this book, I became increasingly concerned that I hadn’t seen my heron friend on my daily walks for a few weeks. He’d been a comforting presence in my life, a truly beautiful bird I looked forward to seeing daily. When I got to the heron illustration, I left my desk and took my dog out for another walk, and finally saw my heron friend again! It was like he was waiting for us. There is beauty and magic all around us, and birding is one way I like to celebrate that. Swipe to see my buddy in all his glory! And find my book through your favorite bookstore.
The Booby, another favorite from my new book, Ornithography: An Illustrated Guide to Bird Lore & Symbolism 💙 I love these goofy, blue-footed birds! Find this book through your favorite bookseller.
