In these deeply felt, closely observed personal essays, 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 communities into the bays and estuaries, the trilling notes of Fowler's toads, and the subtle green-grays of salt marshes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoanna 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book that anyone who loves the Jersey shore will cherish! And because so many of these wonderful creatures live all along the Atlantic coast, it will be of equal interest to beach-lovers, naturalists, bird-watchers, fishermen, and coastal and marine scientists from North Carolina to Maine.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWhere did the shore come from?\u003cbr\u003e Birds on salt marshes and beaches\u003cbr\u003e Sale hay, glasswort, and other commercial ventures\u003cbr\u003e Is global climate change a threat?\u003cbr\u003e Oystercatchers and Willets along the shore\u003cbr\u003e The spring chorus: Fowler's toads at Little Beach\u003cbr\u003e Fiddler crabs at Cheesequake\u003cbr\u003e Cattle egrets on Islajo Island\u003cbr\u003e Killifish move in\u003cbr\u003e Horseshoe crabs on Delaware Bay\u003cbr\u003e Shorebirds along Delaware Bay\u003cbr\u003e Laughing gulls at Stone Harbor marshes\u003cbr\u003e Civilized mallards at Manahawkin\u003cbr\u003e Common terns and skimmers at Barnegat Bay\u003cbr\u003e Piping plovers at Corson's Inlet\u003cbr\u003e Peregrines, ospreys, and harriers: diurnal predators\u003cbr\u003e Mink, mussels, and ghost crabs\u003cbr\u003e Diamondback terrapins at Little Beach\u003cbr\u003e Mosquitoes: the New Jersey state bird\u003cbr\u003e The shorebirds return\u003cbr\u003e Migrating monarchs at Cape May\u003cbr\u003e Hawks in Cape May\u003cbr\u003e Nocturnal wanderings at Higbee Beach\u003cbr\u003e Birding at Point Liberte: in search of a snowy owl\u003cbr\u003e Snow geese and Brant at Brigantine and Barnegat Bay\u003cbr\u003e A Killdeer's plaintive call on the Rutgers campus\u003cbr\u003e Herring gulls: newcomers to the Jersey shore\u003cbr\u003e Herons and egrets at Barnegat Bay and along the Kills\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: Scientific names mentioned in the book\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559277359384,"sku":"9780813523002","price":20.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/a-naturalist-along-the-jersey-shore-paperback-softback-9780813523002","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
