Yolen, J. (2011). Birds of a feather. Photos by J. Stemple. Here they go again, that talented mother and son team--helping us see nature from different perspectives. Fourteen poems focus on those feathered friends of ours with peons to the magestic eagle, the "sweet little puffball" (p. 9) of a chickadee, the eye-catching "blue Mohawk" (p. 10) of the kingfisher, and the oystercatchers who, "unafraid,/ Continue on their stiff parade" (p. 21). The varied types of poems include haiku, and brief notes about each bird species. The photographs abound with vibrant colors, prompting readers to marvel on their beauty and the impossibility of their flight.
