Out of the Woods: A Bird Watcher's Time is a quest through the times of year and a joyous special event of ageing. In 59 essays and poems, Ora E. Anderson, birder, bird carver, naturalist, and characteristics writer, unveils the insights and recollections of any keen-eyed observer of characteristics, both real human and avian. The essays follow the streams and creeks, the highways and little-known byways of Appalachia, and along the way we become nearly as acquainted with its numerous bird, plant, and pet animal species much like the author himself. They are not the remembrances of a single time, however, but of an extended lifetime spent immersed in the natural world. Out of the Woods, presented with humor and interest, is an bank account of any well-lived, profitable, and gratifying life. The essays offer a romantic portrait of any half hundred years of life on Anderson's loved old farm (more nearly a nature keep), where he lived in harmony with wild birds and characteristics and followed the rhythm of the times of year. We are asked to talk about the joys - and the disappointments and sorrows - inherent in such a life. This reserve will delight bird watchers, painters, naturalists, backyard gardeners, and anyone who is sometimes tempted to have a rutted, overgrown, and unused route just to see where it leads.
