Summary "Birds in the Bush" by Bradford Torrey is a collection of essays on ornithology written in the late 19th century. The work reflects on the beauty and behavior of birds, particularly in urban settings like Boston Common and the White Mountains, exploring the joy they inspire in observers and the observations made by the author. Torrey’s prose paints a vivid picture of birdwatching and offers insightful commentary on the relationship between humans and the avian world. At the start of the collection, readers are introduced to the environment of Boston Common through the eyes of an enthusiastic ornithologist. The author engages with the local avifauna, recounting personal encounters with various bird species, including the cat-bird and the yellow-bellied woodpecker. He reflects on migration patterns and the surprises nature holds, even in busy urban parks. The writing captures the wonder of birdwatching and encourages an appreciation for these creatures, inviting readers to observe the life around them with curiosity and respect.
