About This Book

A collection of personal naturalist essays recording seasonal rambles and close observations of birds. The author describes songs, plumage, nesting, migration, courtship, feeding, roosting, and juvenile development, and recounts encounters with particular species and behaviors, from winter gatherings to midsummer melodies. Interspersed are reflections on human reactions to nature, methods of field observation, and an anthology of bird-related verse, concluding with a species list. Practical notes and vivid scene-setting combine affectionate natural history with accessible guidance for amateur ornithologists.
