The Cuckoo's Haiku

By Michael J. Rosen, illustrated by Stan Fellows. A joyful primer on the pleasures of bird-watching that merges haiku, field notes, and exquisite illustrations. In spare and graceful words, poet and birder Michael J. Rosen captures the call of the mysterious cuckoo as well as characteristics of more than 20 commonly seen North American birds. The Cuckoo's Haiku -- featuring evocative artwork of watercolorist Stan Fellows -- captures the excitement of recognizing a bird, whether a darting kingfisher, a wandering wild turkey, or a chirpy house sparrow.
