PositiveLibrary JournalThe engaging work is enhanced by the author’s own drawings and photographs as well as a survey of scientific literature. The detailed, inviting prose contains precise dates and times, forming a diary of Heinrich’s own observations, which also include thoughts on birdwatching and biology in general. Heinrich is a prolific, wide-ranging author who always finds nature compelling and makes it accessible for others ... This inviting work will draw in naturalists and birders, along with anyone wishing to learn more about animal behavior from a trusted guide.

PositiveLibrary Journal[Zickefoose\'s] affecting art enhances the narrative ... There is much sentiment in this story but also science and analysis, as well as commentary from family and friends ... The result is easy, engaging prose that can be read alongside the PBS show Nature, which features Jemima’s story but easily stands on its own ... A heartwarming account for all interested in natural history, especially birds, animal behavior, and wildlife rehabilitation.

RaveLibrary Journal\"The author has written an excellent overview of the history of hunting ... The engaging text, which covers the creation of the National Rifle Association and the National Audubon Society, is enhanced by hundreds of excellent, annotated chapter notes ... Vital reading for all interested in natural history, conservation, ethics, American history, and firearms. Highly recommended.\
