In Birds, Art, Life, a writer follows a Toronto musician through a year of urban birding to discover how paying close attention to the skies can reshape creative practice and personal well-being. She draws parallels between artistic pursuits and the simple act of observing birds in cityscapes.

This intimate memoir moves between detailed field observations and reflective insights on creativity, inspiration and the search for beauty in everyday life. It celebrates how a renewed sense of wonder—sparked by encounters with feathered neighbors—can revive passions and foster deeper connections to both nature and art.
