Description

From Laurel Hill to Siler’s Bog presents the fruits of a scientific in addition to affectionate association between a dedicated naturalist and the birds, mammals, and insects of a small, wild world. John Terres, noted writer and former editor-in-chief of Audubon magazine, spent nine years exploring the Mason Farm flora and fauna reserve in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. His observations of the animal life around him are eloquently recorded here, organized across the cycle of a year from January through December. Firstly published to wide acclaim in 1969, the book is a long-lasting classic of nature writing, and readers far and wide can appreciate it as an engaging introduction to a naturalist’s sensibility and way of having a look on the world. In a new afterword written for this edition, Terres reflects on his return to the Mason Farm after twenty-five years and the changes that experience taken place there.
