Publisher's Summary

A instant escape to nature.

Return of the Birds: A John Burroughs Wake-Robin Revival weaves more than 100 bird song field recordings into the timeless nature study, Wake-Robin. Burroughs wrote: “And what is a bird without its song? It seems to me I do not know a bird till I’ve heard its voice.” Listen to the bustling fields and trails just as he did 150 years ago. Experience the wit and wonder Burroughs encounters during his travels through the Adirondacks and rambles around the Capitol. 

Perfect for the classroom or course curriculum. A cold-weather remedy for the birdwatching enthusiast. Burroughs and his birds help buoy the spirit till the migration begins once again.
