Birder

For Beginners & Backyard Bird Lovers

A guided sketchbook that turns everyday bird sightings into creative joy.

This beautiful, spiral-bound sketchbook features 20 of the most common and beloved North American birds — species you’re likely to see in your backyard, local park, or neighborhood. Each bird spread includes:

• Fascinating “Five Facts”

• Clear anatomy diagrams with labeled parts

• Step-by-step drawing tutorials

• A full-color reference illustration

• Generous blank sketching pages with prompts

Whether you’re a complete beginner who’s never drawn a bird before or an experienced birder looking for a more hands-on way to enjoy your hobby, this book meets you where you are. No artistic experience required — just curiosity and a pencil.

Created in Nashville, Tennessee by husband-and-wife team John & Jamie Sherlock, Birder’s Sketchbook bridges the fresh excitement of a newcomer with the deep knowledge of a lifelong birder. The result is a timeless, inviting journal that encourages you to slow down, observe closely, and draw what you see.

Perfect for:

• Backyard bird watchers

• Nature journalers

• Families and homeschoolers

• Birding clubs and gifts

Draw what you see. Discover what you love.
