On This Sunday morning its Sibley Backyard Birding Postcards, sounds of bird songs, and our bird dog Cooper!

While listening to the sounds of the below Bird Songs of Eastern, Central N. America it is endearing to watch our puppy Cooper investigating!

His natural bird dog tendencies has him pointing and looking for these birds.  It has meant having to go back outside to investigate!

Sibley Backyard Birding Postcards

It is fun to find this set of 100 postcards  (image from AbeBooks.com) that features “original watercolor illustrations from David Sibley, America’s leading ornithologist.   Culled from The Sibley Field Guide to Birds, each bird is lovingly rendered in watercolors by David Sibley and chosen with their individual beauty and prominence in the country (with special focus on backyard birds) in mind. Housed in an elegant keepsake box, these postcards are ideal for mailing to friends and family, framed and used as décor, or attached to presents as unique gift tags.”

I’ve included this YouTube of Sibley’s Backyard Birds of Eastern North America for a quick view of some of his beautiful illustrations.

“When I started birding, I had my father to help ID birds so I didn’t need a field guide.” -David Sibley

And here is the Audio Field Guide Cooper and I have been listening to this morning!  This YouTube is of R. Tory Peterson: Audio Field Guide to Bird Songs of Eastern, Central N. America – 1961 (1 of 6)

Join me tomorrow as we kick off a new week here at AnchoredScraps.com.  Here’s to making the time today to pause and listen to these beautiful bird songs – we are off to go back outside!
