John Burroughs (1837 - 1921) was an American naturalist important to the Conservation movement. He like Thoreau wrote essays on nature. Burroughs was the "Grand Old Man of Nature" when the American romance with nature, and the American conservation movement, had come fully into their own. He grew up on a farm in New York and at age 17 became a teacher. Burroughs wrote over 30 books and published hundreds of essays. Stories in this collection include The Bluebird, The Robin, The Flicker, The Phiojbe, The Coming of Phoebe, The Cowbird, The Chipping Sparrow, The Chewink, The Brown Thrasher, The House Wren, The Song Sparrow, The Chimney Swift, The Oven-bird,
