The West has its own chorus. Elizabeth and Joseph Grinnell introduce the birds of California and beyond: valley quail calling from the chaparral, jays and juncos, hummingbirds in the canyon sun, each sketched with story and science in equal measure. Joseph would become the West's greatest field biologist; here, with his mother, the young naturalist's enthusiasm is fresh and contagious. A delightful introduction for western listeners and armchair travelers alike. Step into the golden hills and learn your neighbors by song.
