From the Back Cover
The stories in this book deal most obviously with birds. They are meant as an aviary housing a hodgepodge of species - some that are easily seen, some that aren't, and some that can't be seen at all. Honest-to-goodness field-guide birds, the sort that can be watched with eyes, share the pages with birds that can be observed only in memory and imagination, the birds of myth and poetry, the birds of Mother Goose and Edward Lear. (6 X 9, 192 pages)
From Publishers Weekly
Readers who enjoyed Lembke's River Time and Looking for Eagles will welcome another visit to coastal North Carolina. The title essay invokes birds of myth and film, brought to Lembke's mind by her discovery that one of her neighbors shot robins for the table, while another waged a vendetta against bluejays. With her Doberman, Sally, Lembke watches birds along the Lower Meuse River and in the piney woods nearby; a huge brushpile proves especially rewarding for fall migrants. One essay chronicles a field trip to look for the declining red-cockaded woodpecker, a victim of Hurricane Hugo. Lembke offers "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Grackle," tries to rescue an injured kingfisher and describes the ethical dilemma when a rat snake approaches a flycatcher's nest. Her "dangerous birds" are wholly captivating.
