“The Nature of Oaks: The Rich Ecology of Our Most Essential Native Trees” by Douglas W. Tallamy ($27.95, Timber Press): The author captured my attention with the first paragraph of the prologue. The parallels between his story and my husband’s and my experience are amazing. We also acquired an untended property in 2000. Our 10 acres of oak woodland also were just grasses and invasive species, mainly star thistle, with only a few majestic native black and white oaks.

With springtime well underway, weâre in a season that offers so many opportunities to witness first-hand many of natureâs marvels, from the beauty of birdsong, to the architecture of nests, to the behaviors of birds as they court mates, rear young and more.
The varieties of size, shape and color of bird eggs are among those marvels, ranging from the miniscule hummingbird egg (the size of a coffee bean) to the enormous eggs of ostriches (equal in weight to 20 chicken eggs).
Itâs not surprising that the smallest bird in the world produces the smallest egg and the largest bird produces the largest egg. But hummingbirds and ostriches illustrate an even more substantive difference, the degree of development of the newly hatched chick.
