Publisher's Summary:

NPR contributor and nature writer Mark Seth Lender chronicles the daily life of a salt marsh near his home.

Mark Seth Lenders home is on the edge of a salt marsh. From his front porch and back yard he is witness to an astonishing array of wildlife, but nothing he sees is more beautiful and inspiring than the birds that fill the air, perch on trees and wade in shallow water. His reports on the sighting of birds like great horned owls, little blue herons and snowy egrets are featured in the segment "Salt Marsh Diary" heard on NPRs Living on Earth. For the first time, he has chronicled the marshs life in a book penned from his perch. With the soul of a poet and the precision of a naturalist, Lender transports the listener to the edge of his salt marsh and makes us both see and hear kingfishers, terns, bluebirds, egrets and other wonders that fill the sky above us.

Members Reviews:

I loved this book

I loved this book. I first listened to it on audible and have it to read as well. I love the author's animations of the birds and whatnot.

I loved how he personifies the birds and their lives. It is good food for the imagination.

Total escape from the boring world into nature... a daily read of great pleasure.

I got this precisely because the right-wing didactic reviewer at the WSJ didn't like it, it wasn't A.R. precise enough for her. Me? I loved the use of the words, the flowing nature of the cadence, the singing use of lyric-like words that brought be firmly into the experience of the Salt March - a place of incredible complexity yet peace. Every story in this book transported us - my wife and I - before bed, with just the right length and emotion. Bravo!

A poetic and passionate voice for nature

This book is a jewel from a writer who has a unique vision of a world he knows so well, the salt marshes of the northeast. Mark Seth Lender connects you to nature with passion, art, pathos and humor. Each short chapter is an intense and entertaining reflection of what he sees and experiences. He takes you right there with him, and beyond.

A great read. The author is a frequent contributor to Public Radio International's program, "Living on Earth" and a natural speaker. Check out his interview about the book on Channel 3 Eyewitness News Better CT.

Poetic for sure

The author's words are pure poetry, without seeming to be so. He has an unusual insight to his surroundings that is very easy to read and puts the reader right along side him as he wanders. A great book about a subject I am very fond of.

Exceeded expectations

I had read an excerpt from this book and that is what attracted me. Often the quote that entices is the best of the book,but in this case, it was just a sample of excellence. This is a must read for anyone who deeply loves nature. This is one of life's treasures.
