Have you ever wondered how a starling's bill turns yellow in the spring, why snow squeaks under your feet on a cold winter day, what makes the ring around the moon? In this day-by-day journal are included hundreds of such queries and their answers. Here, too, are sharp little vignettes of wild creatures, of scenes, of people met along the way. In the company of Edwin Way Teal, you grow to appreciate the interrelationship of natural events, to understand the whole interlocking, synchronized sequence of nature's year.
