Produced by Jack Eden. HTML version by Al Haines. "Waked-Robin" by John Burroughs is a collection of essays on ornithology, likely written in the late 19th century. The book serves as an invitation to explore the beauty and complexity of birds, presenting not merely scientific observations, but a personal and poetic appreciation of their lives and habits in nature. The opening of "Wake-Robin" begins with the author reflecting on his observations of birds as spring arrives in the northern climate, describing the return of various species and the profound relationship between nature and the observer. Burroughs portrays the mystery of birds' arrivals and departures, highlighting the playful presence of bluebirds and robins, while also contemplating the deeper emotional resonance their songs evoke. Through keen observations and evocative language, he invites readers to engage with the natural world and share in the wonder of its avian inhabitants, blending factual detail with personal anecdotes that create a vivid tapestry of springtime life in the woods.
