About This Book

A series of nature essays that promotes quiet, nonlethal observation of wildlife through patient walking, canoeing and hidden watches. The narrator describes encounters with deer, bears and smaller forest creatures, noting play, feeding patterns and daily habits, and explains how unobtrusive presence reveals character and behavior more clearly than killing or photographing. Practical reflections on campsites, waterways and techniques for approaching animals are mixed with vivid natural descriptions and a contemplative ethic, emphasizing restorative solitude, attentive perception, and the rewards of learning about wild life by seeing and listening rather than by possession.
