  • Summary

  • Welcome to Natural History Stories - a podcast of classic writings on natural history and nature observation. Our first four episodes take us through the John Burroughs collection, "Bird and Bees, Sharp Eyes and other papers." Published in 1887, the works were written between 1875 and 1886.


    This episode contains - A Taste of Maine Birch, Winter Neighbors, and Notes by the Way


    Given the age of the writings, these stories contain outdated thoughts and ideas including the reckless killing of wildlife, human interference in nature systems and racist tropes about Native Americans, These are the thoughts and ideas of the writer and are presented only as such. We respect the Wabanaki People as the original stewards of the land where we stand today.

    In this episode, there is also an outdated or regional common name used for a bird, not explained in episode 1.
