| recommend starting with "What the Robin Knows" by Jon Young

| Jon still does a lot of programs and workshops and research and
| it can be a fascinating rabbit hole to dive into.

| Wow, so cool to see someone reference Jon Young on HN.

| I was about 12 or so when was gifted a copy (is that an
| appropriate term for a cassette pack?) of Seeing Through Native
| Eyes[0], which I devoured. That led me to his book Advanced
| Bird Language[1], which blew my adolescent mind. I still have
| both, and a lot of the material has really stuck with me.
