From the bestselling author of The Genius of Birds, the revised and
reissued edition of her beloved book of essays describing her
forays along the Delaware shore For three years, Jennifer Ackerman
lived in the small coastal town of Lewes, Delaware, in the sort of
blue-water, white-sand landscape that draws summer crowds up and
down the eastern seaboard. Birds by the Shore is a book about
discovering the natural life at the ocean's edge: the habits of
shorebirds and seabirds, the movement of sand and water, the wealth
of creatures that survive amid storm and surf. Against this
landscape's rhythms, Ackerman revisits her own history--her
mother's death, her father's illness and her hopes to have children
of her own. This portrait of life at the ocean's edge will be
relished by anyone who has walked a beach at sunset, or watched a
hawk hover over a winter marsh, and felt part of the natural world.
With a quiet passion and friendly, generous intelligence, it
explores the way that landscape shapes our thoughts and perceptions
and shows that home ground is often where we feel the deepest
response to the planet.
