Starlings on the street wires

Maria Popova’s wonder-filled exploration of birds and ornithological books during a time of uncertainty made my heart a bit lighter. She turned this into a card deck called, “An Almanac of Birds: 100 Divinations for Uncertain Days”. I’m inspired to try a related card-creation project, but what?

“Birds I already knew and loved called out to me first: the bowerbird, the nightingale, the osprey. Then I began discovering strange and wondrous creatures I had never seen: the fierce frigate, the tender linnet, the Dr. Seussian snake-bird.”
— Maria Popova
