Susan Ogilvy has lovingly painted the nests of common birds in a beautiful book. Each has a description of the origin of the nest, many given to her by friends and family. This is it — the book is perfect in its simplicity.

One small complaint is an unnecessary addition of somewhat spurious descriptive information about each bird species' habits. Despite seeing the uniqueness of each nest, these descriptions jar with the individuality she paints so beautifully. The book remains perfect if you ignore these parts.
