Does anyone else find ‘bird nests’ and ‘flicker’ to be redundant?

The book is amazing. I’ve known Sharon for a long time and I have some of the framed prints of these nests, really stunning work.

She had a great earlier series of books about puppies and kittens that were a cut above the usual cat photos.

These are very nice but would be even better if she would PUT A BIRD ON IT!!!!

There’s something sad about mute, indoor nests and the lifeless eggs that no chick will ever emerge from. They pretty, though.
