From a life-long interest in nature, the author shares her love of
nature and her understanding of the intricacies of the natural
world through her observations of the plants and animals in three
familiar settings. A formal training in Biology has given her a
rare insight into the important vital processes that influence the
actions and interactions of birds, mammals, insects, and plants as
the seasons change. She tries in her own mind to come to grips with
the predator- prey relationship and to explain to the reader the
importance of this vital process that makes life on earth
possible.Part one is especially rich in bird lore as she observes
the birds at her feeder while watching her young children grow in
their understanding and knowledge of the natural world surrounding
their home in a small town in east central Wisconsin. The middle
section takes place in the north woods where she spends time trying
to blend into the wildness of the national forest setting at a
rustic hunting cabin and observe birds and other wild animals
without intruding on their lives. The last part contains selected
observations at a small lake in the sand country near Shawano,
Wisconsin. The book concludes with short anecdotes about nature
originally printed in the 'Lake Flyer" the newsletter of the
Winnebago Audobon Society.Written by one of the states leading
naturalist, and environmentalist, this book is the rare culmination
of years of observations and reflections going back to the 50s.
