Essays from the Catskill naturalist on the enemies of birds and the tragedies of their nests, on wild and hived honey-bees, and on the art of really looking at the countryside. Later papers turn to the apple, a camping trip in the Maine woods and the creatures that stay through winter, with short notes on a weather-wise muskrat, cheated squirrels, a fox and hound and the woodchuck, and a sketch of Burroughs’s life.
Gentle, observant writing that suits young readers and anyone who keeps a bird feeder. Download the free EPUB.
