If you enjoy reading about nature you can‘t go wrong with this book. I love reading naturalists descriptions about the world. This takes place in Nova Scotia where I live; reading about the flora and fauna I see everyday was like slipping on a favorite sweater.

I have a soft spot for this kind of nature journal, especially as someone who is inclined to be poetic about a marsh myself. This one has a good balance of ecology and memoir and a writing style I largely enjoyed, although the author's insistence on referring to "birds" and "animals" as distinct categories is...puzzling.
