Field Guide Cover to the Birds of Costa Rica

We have another trip coming up. It's another destination so there's another field guide needing a cover! David picked up a memo pad for taking notes and I thought it would be a great idea to somehow incorporate that into the book cover.  So a pocket on the front of the book seemed like the perfect solution.

Bird photos

Saturday was a cold but sunny day. Since we are soon to be leaving on holidays I've lost the "compulsion" to sew all day long so I decided to take advantage of a gorgeous day to snap a few photos. The chickadees were willing subjects, often perching right on my camera lense, while the cardinal and blue jay made just brief appearances to grab a quick bite.
