About This Book

A collection of personal, observational essays that record rural life and natural history around the author's home. Through anecdote and close attention to birds, mammals, seasons, and small human incidents, the pieces portray animal behavior, landscape detail, and the rhythms of field life. Writing ranges from amused, anecdotal sketches of hawks, owls, clams, and turtle eggs to reflective pieces on nature writing and a portrait of a fellow naturalist; the essays emphasize careful seeing, modest humor, and the seasonal passage of the countryside.
