“'s two specialties were s and birds, but during a trip he took north with and his sister Eva in 1823, he also collected plants. That may have been when Maria first discovered that she preferred botany too, since she preserved the specimens he "pulled up." Bachman also instilled in Maria his own habit of referring to plants by their scientific names.”

“s are most famous for their -killing prowess. Because they are quick on their feet, they attack porcupines head on, circling and lunging at the creatures and biting their faces until they exhaust and hurt them. Then they flip them on their backs and eat their quill-less throats and bellies.”

The sound of their liquid song in a still-silent woods is, nevertheless, a welcome sign of spring. And to watch several males lined up beside a female, giving what bird behaviorists Donald and Lilian Stokes call their "topple-over" display in an effort to win the female for their own, is one my earliest spring entertainments. Today, in the tree in my back yard, they performed the ceremony for the first time this spring.”
