Her new book, Birding Is My Favorite Video Game, combines fascinating facts with charming pictures, and its guaranteed to make you laugh. In fact, the learning and laughing are both equally important to Rosemary.“Theres so much to love about birds,” notes Rosemary. “I admire that theyre real-life, modern dinosaurs! As an artist, Im captivated by their color variations. Once you get into birds, the interest snowballs. You can find them almost everywhere. You start to notice subtle behaviors and wing patterns. Youve never bored again. Teaching a kid to watch birds is a huge gift.”Birds make regular appearances in Rosemarys nature art comics (连环圆). She created charts explaining the songs and calls of common eastern and western birds. One of her most popular pieces is a flow chart helping you to decide whether or not to help a baby bird fallen from a nest. And her own personal favorite cartoon is about tiny owls, meant to be both motivational and mildly disturbing, Rosemary explains. “One reader asked me if we had any evidence that these owls can kill and eat a moose(驼鹿）.My response was, not yet.”Rosemary loves other animals, and is especially proud of a poster she drew showing every snake in the US and Canada. She also has a real soft spot for butterflies. “Their behaviors can be surprisingly complex, she points out. “They defend habitats with dogfights. They have complex relationships with poisonous plants, which amounts to an evolutionary arms race. Some of them eat waste and drink tears. Oh, and it helps that they gesture nicely for photos.Mostly self-taught, Rosemary has taken a few art courses, even studying video game art for a bit. During her career, shes created many educational charts, and has been working on some childrens science books.
