Barb Schmeling’s skill in painting a compelling picture of the birds is acknowledged by noted ornithologist and nationally known National Public Radio personality, Laura Erickson. Host of the popular For The Birds program heard daily on that network, Erickson received some of Schmeling’s poems and decided to feature them on her program in May of 2005 and April of 2006.

Author Schmeling offers readers an invitation: “I invite you to observe birds in your own back yard and use this book to record where and when you saw them. Perhaps, in the future, I’ll add to my collection and together we can enjoy more of the characteristics of our feathered friends.”
