Thoughtful Book submitted by chocovanch on June 23, 2017, 6:12am This is a thoughtful book about how much we can learn about where we are, simply by learning more about and watching the behaviors of birds and other animals. There's a great section on observing regularly from a "sit spot" and learning lots; even without taking the time (30-40 minutes per day) to observe from a sit-spot, I've come to note more about what basic birds like robins are saying and doing as I walk by, or observe from a stationary spot or window.
