| Summary | "Wake-Robin" by John Burroughs is a collection of essays on ornithology written in the late 19th century. The book serves as an invitation to readers to engage with the study of birds, sharing the author's personal observations and experiences in nature. As Burroughs describes the seasonal return of various bird species, the text reveals his deep appreciation for their beauty and behaviors. At the start of the volume, Burroughs paints a vivid picture of spring as the period when birds return to their habitats, detailing the arrival of species like the bluebird and robin. He reflects on the enchanting experience of discovering these birds in their natural environment, blending scientific observation with poetic prose. The opening serves to set the tone for a celebration of nature, as Burroughs encourages readers to seek out and appreciate the avian life that surrounds them.
