Out of the Woods: A Bird Watcher's Year is a journey through the
seasons and a joyous celebration of growing old. In fifty-nine
essays and poems, Ora E. Anderson, birder, bird carver, naturalist,
and nature writer, reveals the insights and recollections of a
keen-eyed observer of nature, both human and avian. The essays
follow the rivers and creeks, the highways and little-known byways
of Appalachia, and along the way we become nearly as familiar with
its numerous bird, plant, and animal species as with the author
himself.
These are not the memories of a single year, however, but of a
long lifetime spent immersed in the natural world. Out of the
Woods, presented with humor and passion, is an account of a
well-lived, productive, and satisfying life. The essays offer an
intimate portrait of a half century of life on Anderson's beloved
old farm (more nearly a nature preserve), where he lived in harmony
with birds and nature and followed the rhythm of the seasons. We
are invited to share the joys-and the disappointments and
sorrows-inherent in such a life.
Generously illustrated with Julie Zickefoose's detailed drawings
and evocative sketches, this book will delight bird watchers,
artists, naturalists, backyard gardeners, and anyone who is
sometimes tempted to take a rutted, overgrown, and unused path just
to see where it leads.
