| Summary | "Nature's Invitation: Notes of a Bird-Gazer, North and South" by Bradford Torrey is a collection of nature essays written in the early 20th century. The work centers on the author's experiences and observations while exploring various landscapes, particularly highlighting his encounters with birds and the natural environment. Through detailed descriptions and reflections, Torrey invites readers to appreciate the intricate beauty of nature and the delight found in bird-watching. The opening of this work introduces the reader to a trip Torrey took to New Hampshire, vividly depicting the challenges of travel in inclement weather and the beauty of the mountains shrouded in mist. He recounts moments of both frustration and wonder as he navigates the cold, rainy conditions, providing rich descriptions of the landscape, flora, and especially the birds he encounters. The narrative weaves personal reflections with keen observations of the natural world, setting a tone that resonates with both an appreciation for the outdoors and a contemplative spirit. As he engages with his surroundings, the connection to nature becomes a predominant theme, illustrating the joys and trials of a bird-gazer on a journey through varying terrains.
