From the publisher

Originally published in hardback, this book about the Chesapeake is now available in paperback from Johns Hopkins. The author, Tom Horton, is a native of Maryland's Eastern Shore, and has written about the environment for the past 15 years in the Baltimore Sun. His stories of oysters and sea nettle, elms and rivers, barrier islands and blue crabs, farmers and watermen, always reach beyond the local to the most universal of subjects.

First line

It is winter in Harford County, and, crouched in a blind, I am watching, almost forgetting to breathe as dozens of bald eagles glide silently down the long shafts of setting sun to roost in the tall, dead trees.

From the rear cover

This is a collection of personal essays, the distillation of what has seemed truest and best through a decade of reporting on the Maryland environment. The choice of subjects inclines toward the Chesapeake Bay, as does most of the state's land and water.
