I‘m in an #armchairbirding era right now! 😜

This is an oversized children‘s book with 2-page spreads of magnificent birds. The factoids are just enough to whet my appetite to learn more.

Here‘s a short video from Cornell Ornithology Lab showing the gorgeous #RaggianaBirdofParadise in its natural habitat (#Indonesia #NewGuinea): https://youtu.be/BJtacDpUJgc?si=GOgQkNw2dbPc0UaA
