I'm glad to know that the dead tree in our backyard is serving such an important purpose. We had to cut the top off because it could have fallen on our house, but we asked them to leave a good part of the trunk because the birds love to perch on the branches while waiting their turns for our feeders.

Had I only read the chapter on "Observing First Hand" when our children were early grade-school aged I'm sure they would have become first-rate naturalists -- we used to have a lot of bug jars around the house but I don't think we followed through with the lessons very well!

I am glad I came because this is my kind of book and as soon as I finish saying hello and asking if you are okay, I will be off to Amazon in hopes of finding it there. I do hope your absence is only a matter of taking a break of being off on some excursion so you were unable to post. Look forward to hearing from you so I know :) Be well, David ...<br /><br />Andrea @ From the Sol Andrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-44347649048433380132023-02-12T09:17:09.849-05:002023-02-12T09:17:09.849-05:00Excellent review, another interesting and didactic...Excellent review, another interesting and didactic book.<br />Thanks for sharing.Maria Rodrigueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03339088623806572344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-75110592074667150602023-02-11T13:29:41.129-05:002023-02-11T13:29:41.129-05:00Realy interesting book, David.

I love trees and am shocked at the recent deforestation I see up north, lots of clear cutting. Yes, I know the lumber industry has to make a living but I don't see any replanting going on to replace things. Recognizing all trees do for the creatures around them is fascinating.
