"Jon Young knows birds, and you will too after reading his
marvelous book. You'll discover a universal bird language that will
speak to you wherever you go outdoors. Every nature lover should
read this book."--Joseph Cornell, author of "Sharing Nature with
Children" and "John Muir: My Life with Nature"
A lifelong birder, tracker, and naturalist, Jon Young is guided by
three basic premises: the robin, junco, and other songbirds know
everything important about their environment, be it backyard or
forest; by tuning in to their vocalizations and behavior, we can
acquire much of this wisdom for our own pleasure and benefit; and
the birds' companion calls and warning alarms are just as important
as their songs. Deep bird language is an ancient discipline,
perfected by Native peoples the world over, and science is finally
catching up. This groundbreaking book unites the indigenous
knowledge, the latest research, and the author's own experience of
four decades in the field to lead us toward a deeper connection to
the animals and, in the end, a deeper connection to ourselves.
"Jon Young is one of the heroes of the new nature movement . . .
This elegant book will deepen the kinship between humans and other
species. It decodes our common language."--Richard Louv, author of
"The Nature Principle" and "Last Child in the Woods"
"A brilliant work, born of a lifetime of listening, teaching, and
tracking what really matters . . . Jon Young's work replenishes our
humanity."--David Abram, author of "Becoming Animal" and "The Spell
of the Sensuous"
