  • Birdgirl, by Mya-Rose Craig. Jonathan Cape, $35.

From early childhood, birdwatching has been a major part of the Mya-Rose Craig's life, around her home in England and further afield. What began with an interest in tawny owls and ravens would eventually take her to chase the Antarctic prion and the wonderfully named rufous-crested coquette, among many others.
