Dallas Lore Sharp finds wildlife just outside his door and watches it through the year: birds bedding down for winter, the nighthawk of the dark, the swift over the pines. His essays turn the familiar countryside into fresh discovery. Warm and observant. Find the wild life waiting near your own home.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
