The opening of this volume begins with a sonnet celebrating the November season, followed by a detailed article on the Western Willet, a shorebird. The text describes the Willet's physical characteristics, behavior, and habitat, along with insights into their nesting habits and the threats they face from hunting due to fashion demands. In addition to the pieces describing the Willet, the opening also features various poems and discussions about other animals and plants. These selections blend poetic reflection with factual commentary on nature, creating a rich tapestry that underscores the beauty and complexity of the natural world and the precariousness of bird populations during that era.
