Book Description
Out of the Woods: A Bird Watcher's Year is a journey through the seasons and a joyous celebration of growing old. In fifty-nine essays and poems, Ora E. Anderson, birder, bird carver, naturalist, and nature writer, reveals the insights and recollections of a keen-eyed observer of nature, both human and avian. The essays follow the rivers and creeks, the highways and little-known byways of Appalachia, and along the way we become nearly as familiar with its numerous bird, plant, and animal species as with the author himself. These are not the memories of a single year, however, but of a long lifetime spent immersed in the natural world. Out of the Woods, presented with humor and passion, is an account of a well-lived, productive, and satisfying life. The essays offer an intimate portrait of a half century of Anderson's life on his beloved old farm (more nearly a nature preserve), where he lived in harmony with birds and nature and followed the rhythm of the seasons. We are invited to share the joys--and the disappointments and sorrows--inherent in such a life. Generously illustrated with Julie Zickefoose's detailed and evocative drawings, this book will delight bird watchers, artists, naturalists, backyard gardeners, and anyone who is ever tempted to take a rutted, overgrown path just to see where it leads.

Clear Creek Metro Parks, Shallenberger Nature Preserve, Ohio State Forests, Ohio State Nature Preserves, and Wayne National Forest in Southeastern Ohio.

Includes trail maps with parking QR codes. Packed with the Author's photographs. Each hiking trail includes parking/trailhead/trail GPS and QR codes, a description of hiking areas, directions, maps, and pictures of the hiking trail. Unique and interesting topics about the trails along with some local legends and history. *Hiking compass, distance, and scales are found on the maps for each hike. There is a description and unique info for each trail. *QR codes (offering a map for most trails) are given for both the parking location and for the hiking trail . Google/OSM Maps and QR codes are used as the trusted site for consistency for the maps. *The maps are easy to follow and give the hiker a good understanding of the route and the different trails that intersect so that they do not accidentally follow an illegal outlaw trail. *The author takes her own photos for the book/trails and during different times of the year so others can see it in different seasons. *For those who have not been to the Hocking Hills, are new to hiking, or have simply not hiked in remote and hilly areas, many cell phones and portable satellite equipment devices (using gps/gpx) may not work in the deep gorges, valley, or between tall hills. Maps can be downloaded ahead of time (for most trails) via the QR codes or just plop the book into your backpack and take it along.
