Summary "In Nesting Time" by Olive Thorne Miller is a collection of observational essays on bird behavior written in the late 19th century. The work explores the intricate lives of various bird species through careful study, providing a vivid account of their habits, nesting practices, and interactions within their environments. It offers insights into the belief that each bird is, in essence, a character deserving of individual attention and appreciation. The opening of the book presents a vivid introduction into the world of baby birds, particularly focusing on the purple crow blackbird and Baltimore oriole families. The author recounts her observations while witnessing the challenges faced by these fledgling birds as they leave their nests and navigate the dangers of the outside world. Through detailed accounts of their behaviors—such as the clumsy attempts at flight, the protective nature of the parents, and the various threats posed by predators and environmental factors—Miller establishes a heartfelt connection to these creatures. She elegantly argues that understanding birds requires more than mere scientific observation; it necessitates an empathetic engagement with their lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
