Written week by week for Boston and New York newspapers, these pieces keep the records of a year out of doors in New England. Torrey follows the rush of May migration, a favourite walking round, the Cambridge swamp, woodpeckers, late summer, the silence of the woods, birds bound south and a day in Franconia in the White Mountains.
