“Thirteen years ago I moved to a piece of land in Mendocino County that rustled, hummed, and sang with the sounds of wild things—snakes, crickets, coyotes, birds… I wandered on deer trails, ducked under old-growth manzanitas, and clambered around poison oak. I crouched by woodrat mansions and bounced on moss-covered limbs… Little did I know that soon I would be writing about the marvels I was encountering—lizards with three eyes, squirrels perfumed with “eau d’rattler,” and fungi that manage forests.” (Excerpt from the introduction to Secrets of the Oak Woodlands.”)
