I know generally most of the discussion here is on non-fiction (and usually field guides), but I just read finished reading this book, which I think folks who are also fans of genre fiction might be interested in. The book itself is set in Seattle in the immediate aftermath of a global zombie apocalypse that wipes out humanity. However, the catch is that the main character isn't a person, but rather a human-raised pet crow, who has to navigate the new world, his only companion his owner's not very bright bloodhound. There is a lot of humor and some strangely uplifting moments, and a pretty heavy bird focus (one of my favorite's being the main characters interactions with the world's angriest Junco). The critter related stuff seems mostly pretty accurate, obviously allowing for the whole fantasy element of different species communicating with each other and so on.
Haven't read the direct sequel yet, but hopefully will next month.
