This book documents the author's journey following the spring migration of wood warblers across eastern North America. Inspired by Edwin Way Teale’s 1947 journey documented in 'North with the Spring', the author embarks on a road trip from the Texas Gulf Coast to the Adirondack Mountains, observing migratory patterns and the natural environment. The book explores the habitats and behaviors of 37 species of wood warblers, which serve as indicators of ecological health. It highlights conservation efforts aimed at restoring migratory bird populations and provides insights into the challenges faced by these species. The narrative is enriched with personal reflections and a deep appreciation for nature, appealing to bird enthusiasts, nature lovers, and conservationists.

A twelve-month excursion through nature's seasons as recounted by a lifetime naturalist In this "personal encyclopedia of nature's seasons," lifetime naturalist Bruce Beehler reflects on his three decades of encountering nature in Washington, D.C. The author takes the reader on a year-long journey through the seasons as he describes the wildlife seen and special natural places savored in his travels up and down the Potomac River and other localities in the eastern and central United States. Some of these experiences are as familiar as observing ducks on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., or as unexpected as collecting fifty-million-year-old fossils on a Potomac beach. Beyond our nation's capital, Beehler describes trips to nature's most beautiful green spaces up and down the East Coast that, he says, should be on every nature lover's bucket list. Combining diary entries, riffs on natural subjects, field trips, photographs, and beautiful half-tone wash drawings, this book shows how many outdoor adventures are out there waiting in one's own backyard. The author inspires the reader to embrace nature to achieve a more peaceful existence.
