“Within these pages, you’ll find delight, wisdom, and wonder.”—Sy Montgomery, author of The Hummingbirds’ Gift
A delight for devoted birders, curious nature lovers, and casual backyard watchers alike, from two beloved local talents
Fresh, experiential personal essays featuring more than 70 Pacific Northwest birds by a New York Times bestselling author
Vibrant, colorful illustrations by an award-winning Northwest artist
Accessible natural history with a focus on conservation
Among the Birds is an enchanting celebration of the Pacific Northwest’s birds, brought to life by New York Times-bestselling author and naturalist Lyanda Lynn Haupt. Readers join Haupt on a wandering journey through the region’s avian world, drifting intuitively among species, much like you encounter birds on a neighborhood amble, forest trail, or windy shoreline. More than 70 feathered residents and seasonal visitors make an appearance, connected through experience, memory, and the serendipity of daily life outdoors.
Haupt’s signature voice—lyrical, curious, gently humorous, and deeply observant—infuses each vignette with delight and insight. She blends personal moments with natural history, offering a closer look at the habits, habitats, and captivating quirks of birds such as Steller’s Jay, Anna’s Hummingbird, Merlin, Black Oystercatcher, American Dipper, Caspian Tern, and many more.
Acclaimed artist Justin Gibben’s richly detailed illustrations blend realism and whimsy to highlight each bird’s distinct personality—and perfectly complement Haupt’s stories to spark wonder, cultivate attentiveness, and remind us of our role in caring for the wild lives that thrive alongside us.

“Luminous with insight and wonder. Among the Birds is at once an invitation to closer, more generous attention, and a brilliant call to unsettle our familiarity into richer and surprising understandings and relationships. Birds are often not what they seem—their intelligences and ecologies embody evolution’s trickster, creative spirit—and here are words and art worthy of this lively, nuanced complexity.”
(David George, author of How Flowers Made Our World)“Among the Birds is a glorious meander through nature with a keen-eyed friend. Ever thoughtful and often wry, Haupt gently cajoles us into a deeper state of attention, celebrating what she aptly calls the ‘river of bird secrets’ that surrounds us, waiting to instruct, enrich, and inspire.”
(Thor Hanson, author of Feathers)“Among the Birds is equal parts edifying, playful, and vulnerable—it strikes my heart like a love letter to our inextricable natural connection with birds. Lyanda Lynn Haupt impresses with her prose, her knowledge, and her ability to perceive and describe the magic of the natural world around us. Her missives on the quintessential characters of the Pacific Northwest are a joy to read—a playful romp full of scientific knowledge, cultural insight, and lyrical writing.”
(Matt Kracht, author of The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America)“Among the Birds is as welcome as spring birdsong. This collection makes for a delightful flock of surprises, insights, and stories that reveals even robins, starlings, and turkey vultures as astonishing marvels—and the owls, the cranes, the tufted puffins! Within these pages, you’ll find delight, wisdom, and wonder.”
(Sy Montgomery, author of The Hummingbirds’ Gift)
