About This Book

A collection of nature essays that traces the progress of spring through vivid natural-history observations and practical suggestions for field outings. It records the arrival and habits of returning birds and migrant warblers, early wildflowers and wetland plants, amphibians and reptiles, and the nests and nesting behaviors of various creatures, alongside the audible chorus of frogs and other spring callers. Chapters compile things to see, hear, and do, and present narrative sketches of dawns, ploughing fields, and other seasonal scenes. Anecdote, identification tips, and illustrated notes are used to guide readers in close, attentive exploration of the season.
