About This Book

A series of vividly observed tales traces the lives of Barrens wildlife — bears, moose, otters, foxes and other creatures — as they move through seasons, migrations, courtship and family life. Each chapter combines close natural-history detail of habitat, scent, and weather with episodic scenes of hunting, conflict and parental care. The narratives emphasize animal instincts and survival strategies, portraying interspecies encounters and the rhythms of wild places. Descriptive prose balances scientific observation and storytelling to illuminate behavior without resorting to overt anthropomorphism.
