"In Nesting Time" by Olive Thorne Miller is a series of nature stories centered around birds. Opening with an intimate look into the lives of fledgling purple crow blackbirds and Baltimore orioles, the book follows the baby birds as they exit their nests and face the world. The author shares observations of their behaviors, such as fledglings attempting to fly, parental protectiveness, and the lurking threats of predators. The case is made that understanding birds requires empathy, not just scientific study.
