Ed W8EMV 

Reading the April chapter of Aldo Leopold's 1949 "Sand County Almanac" to hear about April floods, oak openings and their disappearance with the coming of the settler, and the peenting of the woodcock.

There must be more books of natural history, written with one chapter per month in mind, composed over the span of a lifetime's observation or in one single year-long sitting. The back mentions Annie Dillard, Edward Abbey, Robert Finch.

@w8emv I reread this every decade or so. I recommend Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, it's about noticing things.

@w8emv nice. I haven't read it but authors I respect have great things to say about it.
