Waiting in the Wilderness (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Waiting in the Wilderness

This grass plot was a wilderness meeting place for wild folks. -half a dozen wild-life trails crossed it or terminated in it. There were numberless air routes to and through it traversed by bats, butterflies, and birds. Often the wild life ceased to search for food, played their primitive games with enthusiasm, and sometimes they had battles or courtships.

Often I came back to this place to note the Changes in the flowers or the growth of the birds in the neighbourhood nests.

Excerpt from Waiting in the Wilderness

I was standing against a tall stump in the edge of a woods opening when a black bear walked by. He stopped, took a good look at me, bristled up, edged away, stopped for another look. "No," he seemed to say to himself, "that is just a stump." He walked out into the grassy opening, dug for mice, then ambled off into the woods.

This grass plot was a wilderness meeting-place for wild folks. Half a dozen wild-life trails crossed it or terminated in it. There were numberless air routes to and through it traversed by bats, butterflies, and birds. Often the wild life ceased to search for food, played their primitive games with enthusiasm, and sometimes they had battles or courtships.

Often I came back to this place to note the changes in the flowers or the growth of the birds in the neighbourhood nests.

Another day I sat just a big bump on a log, in the other side of the woods opening.
