| Summary: | "Come for a journey along the Jersey shore with naturalist and ecologist Joanna Burger! In these deeply felt, closely observed personal essays and field sketches, Burger invokes the intertwined lives of naturalist and wild creatures at the ever-changing edge of ocean and land. Discover with her the delicate mating dances of fiddler crabs, the dangers to piping plovers, the swarming of fish into the bays and estuaries, the trilling notes of Fowler's toads, and the subtle green-grays of salt marshes." "Joanna Burger knows the shore through all its seasons - the first moment of spring when the herring gulls arrive on ice-gouged salt marshes, the end of spring when the great flocks of shorebirds come to feed on horseshoe crab eggs at Cape May, the summer when the peregrine hunts its prey, the fall when the migrations of hawks and monarch butterflies attract watchers from around the world, and the depths of winter when a lone snowy owl sweeps across snow-covered dunes and frozen bay."--Jacket |

"Come for a journey along the Jersey shore with naturalist and ecologist Joanna Burger! In these deeply felt, closely observed personal essays and field sketches, Burger invokes the intertwined lives of naturalist and wild creatures at the ever-changing edge of ocean and land. Discover with her the delicate mating dances of fiddler crabs, the dangers to piping plovers, the swarming of fish into the bays and estuaries, the trilling notes of Fowler's toads, and the subtle green-grays of salt marshes." "Joanna Burger knows the shore through all its seasons - the first moment of spring when the herring gulls arrive on ice-gouged salt marshes, the end of spring when the great flocks of shorebirds come to feed on horseshoe crab eggs at Cape May, the summer when the peregrine hunts its prey, the fall when the migrations of hawks and monarch butterflies attract watchers from around the world, and the depths of winter when a lone snowy owl sweeps across snow-covered dunes and frozen bay."--Jacket Where did the shore come from? -- Birds on salt marshes and beaches -- Sale hay, glasswort, and other commercial ventures -- Is global climate change a threat? -- Oystercatchers and Willets along the shore -- The spring chorus: Fowler's toads at Little Beach -- Fiddler crabs at Cheesequake -- Cattle egrets on Islajo Island -- Killifish move in -- Horseshoe crabs on Delaware Bay -- Shorebirds along Delaware Bay -- Laughing gulls at Stone Harbor marshes -- Civilized mallards at Manahawkin -- Common terns and skimmers at Barnegat Bay -- Piping plovers at Corson's Inlet -- Peregrines, ospreys, and harriers: diurnal predators -- Mink, mussels, and ghost crabs -- Diamondback terrapins at Little Beach -- Mosquitoes: the New Jersey state bird -- The shorebirds return -- Migrating monarchs at Cape May -- Hawks in Cape May -- Nocturnal wanderings at Higbee Beach -- Birding at Point Liberte: in search of a snowy owl -- Snow geese and Brant at Brigantine and Barnegat Bay -- A Killdeer's plaintive call on the Rutgers campus -- Herring gulls: newcomers to the Jersey shore -- Herons and egrets at Barnegat Bay and along the Kills -- Appendix: Scientific names mentioned in the book.
