I just discovered photographer Andrew Zuckerman's incredible portraits of birds, quite by accident. Even though I myself have 3 birds, I do not read the Audubon Magazine, but happened to see it recently while in a Doctor's waiting room. I was awestruck by these incredible and personable yet startling images of birds. They are from his book, entitled Bird, and I've picked out a few of my favorites. You don't have to be a bird lover to appreciate the beauty in these...
