Lawrence Kilham begins this remarkable book with a simple premise: surely there are many people who arent scientists who nevertheless take great satisfaction from observing nature and the creatures that inhabit it. Eschewing species lists and the chartsandgraphs approach of professional ornithologists and competitive birders, Kilhams On Watching Birds elegantly balances the aesthetic and humanistic with the scientific. The author offers a philosophy of embracing nature through discovery rather than a methodology for categorizing it.Watch everything, Kilham advises the novice, for one may be surprised by what one sees, even when observing the most common of birds. His observations become part beautifully told story and part lifelesson, as the habits and rituals of cranes, crows, owlseven ottersreveal a rich counterlife of often unnoticed behavioral variation and personality in living nature. Behavior watching, Kilham concludes, not only strengthens my bonds with the beauty of nature, but also my empathy with living things.First published in 1988, this autobiographical account of a renowned naturalists love affair with birds has already become a classic. Illustrated with Joan Waltermires delicately rendered line drawings, On Watching Birds is now once again available to readers who wish to discover the simple pleasures of connecting with the natural world.
