Description

"Collects odd trivialities about birds, Rock Creek Park and the marshes off the Potomac and transforms it all into what is neither odd nor trivial, the belief that 'the discovery of spring each year, after the winter's hibernation, is like a rediscovery of the universe.'."-- Washington Post
