A birdsong expert's poignant and beautifully illustrated memoir of
a bicycle journey across America with his son Join birdsong expert
Donald Kroodsma on a ten-week, ten-state bicycle journey as he
travels with his son from the Atlantic to the Pacific, lingering
and listening to our continent sing as no one has before. On remote
country roads, over terrain vast and spectacular, from dawn to dusk
and sometimes through the night, you will gain a deep appreciation
for the natural symphony of birdsong many of us take for granted.
Come along and marvel at how expressive these creatures are as
Kroodsma leads you west across nearly five thousand miles-at a
leisurely pace that enables a deep listen. Listening to a Continent
Sing is also a guided tour through the history of a young nation
and the geology of an ancient landscape, and an invitation to set
aside the bustle of everyday life to follow one's dreams. It is a
celebration of flowers and trees, rocks and rivers, mountains and
prairies, clouds and sky, headwinds and calm, and of local voices
and the people you will meet along the way. It is also the story of
a father and son deepening their bond as they travel the slow road
together from coast to coast. Beautifully illustrated throughout
with drawings of birds and scenes and featuring QR codes that link
to audio birdsong, this poignant and insightful book takes you on a
travel adventure unlike any other-accompanied on every leg of your
journey by birdsong.
