Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me track down this book I had way back in the day? It was a hefty book that had a mini story (composed of a handful of short sentences) for each day of the year and showed the progression of the seasons through different events such as the first blue birds singing, the swallows flying off for winter, receiving the results of autumn's harvest, and so on. There were beautiful water colour paintings to go with them as well. This was a thick book, perhaps several decades old now.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance ^.^

Hello

I'm trying to find a book I read years ago which I don't remember the author.
The book is about fictional birds, but it is written as if the birds were real, with tips about where to find them across the United States, along with illustrations of each bird and a full description of their biology and other things of that nature.
Some of the entries feature a bird that is red, white and blue and it sings the national anthem, vulture that grows a colorful crest but only for a few days each year, and a white normal looking bird that changes the colors of their feathers to blue or pink depending of the bird being male or female for just a few weeks each year, along with the shells of their eggs also changing color for that time according to the gender of the unborn bird still inside.

It is an old book, I read it for the first time in 1996.
