Picture book neighborhoods: Birds

   Having finished the general animals section, I'm now moving on to the specific animal categories.

  This is generally divided into fiction and nonfiction, with a couple popular categories (hummingbirds, raptors, and penguins) having specific call numbers. Most of this section is nonfiction and penguin books. There are currently ~120 titles in this section. I try to keep the fiction realistic, but penguins... well, it's just easier to have all the penguin books together.
