Birds -- Birds are some of the world's most intriguing creatures, and they have long been the preferred muses for internationally renowned artist and illustrator Jeffrey Fisher. In this gorgeous hardcover, Fisher presents 46 different bird species in elegant, hand-painted portraits. Each bird is captured in his signature style—bold, colorful, unexpected, and beautiful—and paired with thoughtful musings on the species' history and lore. Recognizable and rare birds abound in equal measure, from the Great Spotted Kiwi to the Kakapo to the common Wren. This whimsical collection of creatures will be a treasured complement to any birder's library.
