I am looking forward to reading and perhaps even the author's books on bumblebees. There are a few sketches, There are no photos. And he talks a bit about the ravens in the Tower of London. He did reveal a tidbit from his library research: 'Ravenstone' is an old English term for a place of execution.

Watching Heinrich spend long weekends in the woods of Maine in below-freezing temps, counting birds and analyzing their calls, is pretty dry.
