"You are a rare bird, easy to see but invisible just the same."
That thought is close at hand in Sparrow Envy: Field Guide to Birds
and Lesser Beasts, as renowned naturalist and writer J. Drew Lanham
explores his obsession with birds and all things wild in a mixture
of poetry and prose. He questions vital assumptions taken for
granted by so many birdwatchers: can birding be an escape if the
birder is not in a safe place? Who is watching him as he watches
birds? With a refreshing balance of reverence and candor, Lanham
paints a unique portrait of the natural world: listening to
cicadas, tracking sandpipers, towhees, wrens, and cataloging fellow
birdwatchers at a conference where he is one of two black birders.
The resulting insights are as honest as they are illuminating.
