Synopsis

A field guide to birds, creation, and the quiet science of everyday life

This collection invites you to notice, recall, and savor the natural world through attentive, accessible writing. It blends lively observations of spring migrations with thoughtful reflections on why creatures move, sing, and adapt as the seasons turn.

From a narrator who loves the Hudson Valley and other landscapes, the book blends vivid scenes of the spring bird procession with practical notes on nesting, feeding, and behavior. It celebrates curiosity, careful observation, and a deep sense for how wild life threads together with human life in the open air.

Ideal for readers who love nature writing, field notes, and accessible insights into birds, seasons, and the living world around us.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Part I: A field I THE SPRING BIRD PROCESSION I ONE of the new pleasures of country life when one has made the acquaintance of the birds is to witness the northward bird procession as it passes or tarries with us in the spring a procession which lasts from A pril till June and has some new feature daily. The migrating wild creatures, whether birds or beasts, always arrest the attention. They seem to link up animal life with the great currents of the globe. It is moving day on a continental scale. It is the call of the primal instinct to increase and multiply, suddenly setting in motion whole tribes and races. The first phoebe-bird, the first song sparrow, the first robin or bluebird in March or early A pril, is like the first ripple of the rising tide on the shore. In my boyhood the vast armies of the passenger pigeons were one of the most notable spring tokens. Often late in March, or early in A pril, the naked beechwoods would suddenly become blue withS D. H.
