"This highly personal narrative conveys the excitement and sense of discovery which comes to bird watchers and other nature lovers as they learn to look at the world with more informed eyes. The book itself is a source of carefully researched information about birds--their appearances and habits, the foods preferred by various species, the plants and habitat that will attract them. Her final chapter is an eyewitness account of the great Coyote Fire, a man-caused forest fire which came near to destroying the canyon, and the whole city, and of how the charred forest and its creatures resumed their lives after the fire.
